I've only got juveniles.

Acarichthys heckelii

Geophagus steindachneri

Saw some Geophagus sp. Rio Pindare for sale today, a species I'd been after for months, and I now have no room. Raging I tell you.

Terrible shot of my Steiney too, had only been in for an hour and my tanks dirty because of meds.

From my secret source Rob

Japes, I like the heckelii with the double lateral spots! He/she will be nice when they get older.

Watch some videos on youtube of geos and you'll see They gather substrate(sand or small gravel) in their mouth and sift through it for various types of food; spitting out anything that is not edible.
