Either geophagus or satanoperca, doesn't matter. Which ones do you like the most?

Mine are s. Leucostica and geo red head tapajos. I love how the body shines on the leucostica and I like when there's really bright red on the heads of the red heads.

My least favorite is probably the steindachneri. Their faces look kinda jacked up and I never thought they looked good. I see them more often for sale than other geos though.
 
I started out like most earth eater fanatics do with the more commonly known Geophagus species. My first species was like most people's as I got some red head tapajos. But I am finding that as time goes on, I am more drawn to the rarer earth eaters in the Biotodoma, Guianacara and Satanoperca genera. I even had some gymnos for a while, but they were too shy for my tastes. As far as the Satanoperca genus goes, my favorite has to be acuticeps followed by daemon. For Geophagus, my first love of red head tapajos will always be my favorite in the genus, but pindare has been a species I have grown find of recently.

i like G. Winemilleri myself... im raising a group of 7 with a group of 8 red tapajos in a 265g at the moment.
 
Red hump Steindachneri; the females aren't too impressive but the males look awesome.
 
I used to have a dedicated 100gallon of all different types of geos. Was awesome watching them sift through the sand all day. I'm thinking of doing it again. My favorites are red heads, red hump and Jupari. Jupari have a nice color to them.
