Geo Id

[bonzo]

It has a black line running below the eye. Only one I can find close to it is Geophagus taeniopareius

Looks like the Geo altifrons they have at my LFS, although that could easily be mislabled.

Teaniopareius looks a good fit.

We've got altifrons and these are much more a coppery colour,none of the altifrons have this black teardrop.From what ive been reading on the taeniopareius they are very seldom found in the trade, so just maybe a good find. Hopefully.
Will try get a better pic showing the teardrop.

Seeing that photo you are probably spot on with your identification of geophagus taeniopareius

I'm sure Wills will be along soon to confirm for you.

Stunning fish and great photography.

Its without a doubt a taeniopareius as the above fish was in a friends tank and she only had the one and was looking rid of it. So we found out were it came from, found the shop that had another one in stock and that they had came in as wild caught and they've another four in another shop. So by the end of the week we should have a group of six.
