Got these guys when they were 1" still confuse on their ID tho.
Got 7 of them and I'm pretty sure I only got 2 types

1 group - Satanoperca Jurupari
2nd group - Geophagus Winemilleri

I could be totally off, but at least I got the genus right - just what comes to mind.
 
Judging from a previous post, is it also possible that it may be abalios ? image.jpg
 
Abalios or altifrons, but that's not my specialty. The first one is indeed S jurupari. Looks like "orange lips".
 
altifrons, winemilleri, abalios, and those others or all very close. To me they are all about the same in beauty lol
Yeah I definitely agree with you. Now my only struggle is figuring out their sex
 
from what ive seen the winemilleri are more red, and the altifrons are more purple. I don't know about abalios
 
Looks like a geophagus juipari, the second fish pictured may be a geophagus surnamensis
