At a recent visit to the lfs i saw a neat looking geophagus cthat was called a geo. peligreeni. i really wanted to buy him but changed my mind. when i got home i decided to look it up, but there was nothing to be found, pics or ne thing. and now i want one. if u have any info plz comment!
 
Correct spelling will help your search, rare fish, I doubt that is what it actually is.

I took a picture of this one at last year's show, not sure if it's same thing though.

doesnt look like the one i saw. the one i saw was white, and that was his color, he wasnt stressed or anything
 
i'll try to get a pic up
 
I have 4 tiny ones that I'm growing out.
The LFS only had 4 left that they got from a local breeder.
I have been trying to find a few more. I guess the breeder lost his last batch of fry so I have been out of luck.

Anyone know where I can get a few more Juvi's shipped to me?

you can see some little one's In my video if your patient.

There supposed to turn red when mature I think?
I hope they turn out nice, there still really young.
 
I found some info on the internet
I also found these pics the first one looks exactly like my fish. Nottice the red lips and hockey stick line down the side.
