Geophagus sp. Maicuru

[wind08]

I remember there was a fish but I can't remember what it looked like. G. abalios are fairly far away from Para Brazil though.

could it be this thread: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/f...Geophagus-experts-please-ID&highlight=maicuru

?

What is the green red n yellow fish in the bottom right of the pic?

There are a few bros who ID-ed the fish as Geo neambi, what you guys recon?

Could you post that pic? Would love to compare the look of the 2 .. One other thing to note is that these guys have very yellow pelvic fins!

I'm acclimating some new geo's that just arrived this morning. I'll find hat pic and post it for you shortly once they are in tank. Sorry I didn't mean to derail your thread bro

EDIT, this is the only pic I could find. The caudal pattern isn't as close as I thought it was. It's been a few years:

Thanks for the effort, Justin!

It does resemble my Geo neambi pretty much. Lateral barring and tail spottings. The facial markings (streaks of blue on the gill plates + under the eye look seem similar as well)

I'm starting to really guess that the sp. Maicuru are in fact Geo neambi.

I think in G. neambi, only the lateral bar going through the lateral spot appears bisect...at least according to the original description.
