i got this new geo yesterday and is about 6" maybe more, but i can't seem to find what kind of fish it actually is. can anyone help me? the pics were taken with my phone which for some reason won't zoom so i have to deal with what i got.

thanks in advance

I'd say G. dicrozoster. Looks like the 3rd bar on its body is Y-shaped and runs through the lateral spot. Also it has the black bar on its cheek. Beautiful geo btw! If you want to be positive try to stess it a bit so its bars along the body show more clearly, also get a closer pic of the caudal fin.
 
well the way he was, i don't think his bars can show any better. his head is gold that runs into his dorsal fin, which then turns into a goldish red, his body turns goldish tan with the blue stripes and a goldish red lateral spot, and then his tail is deep red with deep blue, i will try and get better pics, but im not sure i would get any clearer pics
 
its a g. dicrozoster. the cheek marking is the most obvious giveaway. nice fish. beautiful streamers.
 
his streamers would have been better, but the geo that was with it got a little to aggressive and started messing with him. im hoping he makes a full recovery now that he won't have to worry about the other geo.
 
here are some more pics of him!
