Looking for a positive Geo. Jurupari ID

[omojena]

Bought as a Geo. Jurupari, but after some reading about how often other geo.'s are sold as jurupari, just looking to conferm

that photo is of a santonaperca leucostica

Where is the facial spotting? Where is the spotting under the dorsal fin on the body itself? Unless those spots are being washed out, it's a jurupari but the OP has stated it has zero spotting. Those photos look like textbook jurupari atm unless I am just missing the spotting.

+1 on Jurupari. Also exhibits the slanted lines parallel to the forehead slope.

well ive had some bad luck, woke up this morning to my Jurupari layin on the bottom of his tank. Water was perfect and all the other fish with him are fine and he showed no signs of stress or anything, he was eating great. I'm baffled, anyone know what could have killed him? i know without looking at him or testing the water yourself you cant tell me much. Just bad luck I guess.

That's what always happens with mine, sorry to hear it.

yeah guess just all part of the hobby, sometimes it just doesnt work out. Well I think I'm gunna order some geophagus parnaibae as his replacment. We'll see how they work out.
