Who can help me work out what Geophagus I have? - Pics!

Hi Guys,

I had previously thought I had a pair of Geophagus Brasiliensis, but they don't seem to be pairing up or breeding, and I have started to notice some subtle differences that I maybe thought might be more to just differences in Gender...

Here are the pics, any ideas?

Male:

and Female:

My plan was to try and breed them in my oddball community, if they are the correct pairing, then I can get to working out what I am doing wrong


Cheers!

They are a pair of brasilensis. Give them some time. How big are they?

Phew, as i thought Thanks peeps!

Male is about 5inches, female 4inches.

Im in no rush, just keen to make sure they are a pair, and will look to keep them as happy as possible and let nature take it's course
