Most geos are sexual dimorphic, which means you cant tell the sex until some eggs are layed.

This is to say "males and females look different, therefore you can not tell them apart". :confused::confused::confused:

What do you mean by "most Geos" anyway? Which ones?

They look more like G. abalios to me..

Honda's fish have a black pre-opercular mark. The name "G. abalios" specifically means the lack of this mark.

Like i said, Im not an expert on geos, but i do know a few things.
Im sorry, Sexual dimorphic isnt the word i was looking for, but you get the point. Sexual Simorphic. And yes i made that word up.
Im not going through the 20 some odd species of geo, but most of the time the only difference is the males a tad bigger. Geos are even know to try to unsucessfully breed with 2 females bc they even cant tell themselfs apart. Obviously geos like Steindachneri can easily be sexed.
I dont know the difference between genies names man. Abalios seem to have the more rounder head while the dicros have more mouth. Just an observation.
