I would like to get some opinions as to where you guys think my Altifrons are from. The guy I got him from didn't know anything about him, other than that it's a Geo. My guess is Xingu. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Beautiful fish!

Got anymore pics?

Where did the other guy get him from?
 
Thank you.
I got them for free from a guy on craigslist, and never got to ask where he bought them.

Here's some older ones.

FREE??? Thats a great CL pickup IMO!!!!!

Looks like Xingu to me but I'm no expert. How many did you get from him?
 
Two, and he told me they were 4". They turned out to be 6".

I thought the xingu had a lot more green on them then that.​

Not sure? What would your guess be?
 
I'm not even going to pretend to be able to ID them. The Xingu that I have seen have definately had more green. That is if they were labled right. Maybe Ed Burress or Jeff Rapps or some of the other folks with lots of Geophagus knowledge can tell you. Without a collection location it's pretty tought to say though.
 
Thanks. That's my problem too. The are so many websites, and pictures up on the web that mis-label geo's, that it can get really confusing.

If anyone knows a good website dedicated to info on eartheaters, or knows where I can buy a book, it would be greatly appreciated.
