Identifying my Cichlid

[Laurenell]

Hey All I’m trying to identify what type of Geophagus Cichlids this is? Can anyone help?

Hi looks like a tapajos red head to me. Beautiful fish when adult what are you keeping them with?

 

[Laurenell]

Yes was thinking it could be that one, colours are beautiful on it, it’s the only one in the tank but with Columbian Tetras, angels, red tail shark and catfish. Just added a red spotted severm and it’s become a little territorial where’s it been the dominant fish in the tank for so long.

Some males can be a bit fiesty, I usually like to keep Geos in a group as they are quite a gregrious fish. How big is the tank?

Noticed you have gravel as well, when he starts to get big enough to properly fill his mouth with substrate I would keep a very close eye on him as they can suck up stones into their gills. Much better to have them on a sand substrate that they can safely filter through their gills like they do in the wild

Red head tapajos for sure. This is one of mine. They are very pretty fish.
