definently some kind of geo

that is not an earth eater your trippi

You're a fish short of a colony.

I agree that it's in the Gymnogeophagus rhabdotus group. Which contains several different fish right now.

And I also agree with them requiring a cool down period of 2-3 months in the 60's.

I agree with this man. Rhabdotus and Brasiliensis are remotely similar when compared to other Geophagus but that definitely isn't a brasiliensis. Rhabdotus is currently similiar to the surinamensis complex in that there are a number of different species described as a single species as they aren't yet completely or properly identifited. Hopefully it's fins heal up as best possible and you'll have a stunning little Eartheater.

Looks like Geophagus "Brasiliensis" to me, or Pearl Eartheater as i believe its commonly called...

It's some kind of geo not sure but looks like it will be a good looker with a little tlc.
