Hey guys
toady I got my geophagus surinamensis
Can someone please share your experiences with this geophagus queen

Sorry for bad quality pictures
Friends I have one question regarding its colour
do they colour up with size

Yeap, they colour up with size.
They should colour up little bit after few days. Try to make some more photos.
True Geophagus surinamensis are rare. Usually they sell other geophagus under this name.

Looks like geophagus altifrons to me.
It's extremely unlikely to be a true surinamensis.
As mentioned, a rare fish in the hobby, and in the wild.
Your Geo would do well with in the company of its own kind.
A lone Geo in a tank with central American cichlids is unlikely to show its full potential.
They look their best in groups and when they are the dominant species in the tank.
