Lookin like a not so colored up Geophagus sp. 'red head tapajos'....have the right caudual and dorsal fin...and the black stress bars look right as well. How big is it...some 'red heads' don't start to color up till about 3 to 4"...

Thats what I was leaning towards but I wasn't to sure.

 

[Peanut_Power]

size is a big factor...if its almost 4"...then its either altifrons or sur.

 

[dovii88]

Surimensis or whatever you spell it..

I was trying to say that but couldn't remember the spelling. Either that or altifrons. I think the "red hump" usually get their hump at about 3 in. I've only had a few but they always showed it pretty early. So I'll lean twards the first two.

Anyone know how to tell altifrons apart from surinamensis? I think these are often mistaken for one another. I was researching at the library from one of the cichlid atlas books and they talked about the differences but it was to much for me to take in.

i doubt its surinamensis they hardly never turn up for sale.
could be abalios does it have any markings on its face
