They do have some red in the mag. Check it out at a library or something. They should have the issue.
Geophagus winemilleri have an opercular mark.
Geophagus parnaibae are a much different fish, mostly blue and green and comparatively unattractive. You can read the original description and view images of the Holotype and a Paratype here...

I agree with Geophagus abalios. You can read the original description and view the Holotype (pg 14) and a Paratype (pg 15) here...

The Holotype for G. winemilleri is also on page 32 and a Paratype is on 33.
Peter it is a very nice fish! I am jealous!

Thanks Ed! I hope I had made up my mind earlier and rescued the female too...
It looks somewhat different from the other fish that you though was G. abalios (pic below; a lot more yellow) - are they just different variants?
Definitely a G. abalios in my opinion. Striped Caudal fin and the Red Iris.
