Info on Geophagus S. Pls

[West1]

As far as I know, the surinamesis have bodies that are more elongated as compared to the altifrons. The Altis no doubt is one of the most stunning geos esp when they reach adult size. I have both in my tank and love them to death.

Sweet!!!!!! Then you are the one I need to see pics from
Do you happen to have Adult pics? Or atleast picks of them close to being adult?

By the way, I work just around the corner from your Location...Compton

Thanks Boggy, with all this being said, how can you tell the diff between the ones that look like Surinamensis??

Any pics of Adult Altis? and what size do they get?

I was told they get RED when adult (Surinamensis) how about Altis?

Heres a bad pic of mine

The true G. surinamensis from Suriname are indeed rare, but due to classification issues there are multiple members of the G. surinamensis complex, which are very common (I'd say the second most common behind G. brasiliensis) in the hobby.

Full sized Geophagus altifrons 'Rio Tocantins' (sp. Areos to some..)

Bad shot of my 4" sub-adult.

Don't have any current pics. As for adult pics, you can google it. Altifrons have very long trailers when as they get older

I'd be 95% sure that's a meber of the G. surinamensis complex.

On second looks though I'm really not quite sure. Body shape seems off for an altifrons in some shots but very similiar in others.
