If the ones without a black stripe have stripes striped pattern on the tail they're tapajos, if spotted they're altitrons. I have no idea of the ones with the black down its side.
 
Its a vid
 
The pattern reminds me of Satanoperca pappaterra, but the video isn't clear enough to be sure.
 
I will repost HD

satanoperca is the first thing I thought of when I saw the face, never heard of that species though.

Looked up the pappatera, that likes right and they look great as adults.
 
I know the others are Geophagus tapajos
here is a pic while the vid uploads

It's got the six spots under the dorsal and the midlateral line, along with the reddish tinged unpaired fins. You can't see it in the pic, but in the video it looked like it had the spot at the base of the caudal base. Sure seems to be S. pappaterra to me. Nice score. Not as colorful as other Satanoperca, but hard to find.

I hope they are Satanoperca pappaterra because that is what i put in the title, the look like it to me too. I never heard of them before today.

Thank you so much MFKers
