My ones don't have a black spot

Btw that's a really nice tank..What are the dimensions??

and how's Cichla and Geos together working out? I always thought feeding will be a problem..

If the black lateral spot is 2 scales x 2 scales or smaller, they are altifrons.

I don't see any lateral spot

I don't see any lateral spot

I've circled the midlateral spots on your Geos. Because of the small size of the spot, and the absense of facial markings of any kind, I'm inclined to say they're a type of G. altifrons (as mentioned on page 2).
