Hey guys, just inquiring about an ID on these WC geophagus. 
WC geophagus ID thread
- Thread starter greenerinks
- Start date
#1 - ? need to see the caudal marking
#2 - Geophagus pellegrini
#3 - Geophagus argyrostictus
#4 - Satanoperca leucosticta (most likely) however it could be Satanoperca mapiritensis as it has the correct muzzle spangling and lack of spotting on the flanks, specifically under the dorsal. My only hesitation is nuchal shape but that can go either way IME. I an more inclined to believe it to be Satanoperca mapiritensis, although less likely. It is one or the other between the two species though, that is for certain.
Any idea on collection points? That helps narrow things down much more so that just visual confirmation.

Would you be willing to help me out with getting some geophagus then from your supplier? Feel free to message me or text me at 7153384148 or email is fine as well. Thanks so much
As do S. leucosticta/mapiritensis... the only oddball on the list would be argyrostictus. But honestly there are some exporters who combine fish from multiple regions, so they don't all necessarily get caught in the same location.
