Pellegrini, Red bumps & alto sinu are all the Pellegrini clade. Diff species, same genus. Same basic care.

Thanks so much. Is there anywhere that I can find more info about the Pellegrini Clade. I'm struggling to find any useful info on Google using that information. Thanks again for your replies.

let me see if I can find something that’s not behind a paywall. I’ll repost a link when I do.
Technically they are all geophagus but many believe the pellegrini clade will end up in its own genus, same thing for the brasiliensis clade.

In the meantime this a pic of my old male Pellegrini ~aprox 10”~ there are flagtail catfish, geophagus sveni, festivum and I believe a biotodoma species in the shot

Yours should stay smaller than Pellegrini

Thank you so much. I appreciate any insight so the articles and video are very helpful. Very pretty Pellegrini. I hope one day I can have a fish of that size.
