Here are 4 out of my 5 inridae. i just took them out of quarantine and I'm adding them to one of my 75s. I left the smallest one to grow out w/ some smaller brachbranchus because he was getting picked on.
 
They look great even stressed. Can't wait to see them when they're settled in their tank.

How large are your brachys? Would you mind posting some pictures? I'm pretty sure this group of six geos I have are brachys, but I don't know anyone else who has them for comparison.
 
They already look better! Different! My brachys are tiny 1.5 to 2 inches. I will get some pics soon. The smaller Inridae were lip lockig a bit and testing each other w/ the smaller roktiels I got by mistake after I acclimated them. My girlfriend ordered rokpunk apistos (spelling) and we got the sevs on accident, but they are great!

First of all, congrats and enjoy, they look perfect.

Second - I'm 99% sure that they are not Inridae, but we need to see them after the stress.
 
They look dramatically different in the tank. The body has an almost tan appearance between stripes and the spots seem reddish. The manager of my lfs and I split a group of 10. I will get the girlfriend to take some upated pics over the weekend and we can compare them. My notatus are pigs. I have 4 in a 40 long and a bigger one in my 230 that's stunning IMO. The new inridae look special and very different than any severum species I've even seen or kept. Maybe I shold have waited on those pic, lol.

GT3000, I also want to take some pictures of my Neambi to show you. I ordered 6, but 3 turned out to be abalios and wound up being nearly twice the size of neambi in same tank, but neambi seem more aggresive to abalios. I separated them now, but would like your opinion of them.

1. I'll be happy to see the Neambi, but in other thread so we'll stay concentrated in your new heros.
2. The neambi is much more aggresive than any Geo's I had.
3. Waiting for the new pictures of the new heros, they are beautiful.
 
I think they're Inirida... they have the eight bars and the red spots vs. black spots on notatus. They look nice already at that size. I can't wait to see them all grown up.
