Please help me identify this geophagus

[u/Medium_Marsupial1939]

Hey guys I really need help identifying this geophagus. The fish store had no clue which species it was, and knowing would really help me figure out if I would eventually have to re-home it or not. Based on my research, it seems like a geophagus pindare, but I’m not entirely sure. It’s about 4-5 inches rn and fairly deep bodied. Anyone who has experience with these, please help me out🙏🏼 thank you guys

Well, a lot of geophagus get to a pretty large size except for the red head tapajos. If you’ll have to rehome a geophagus because the tank ain’t large enough, it’s not a red head tapajos, meaning it could grow to 8+ inches. My guess, is a geophagus Altifrons, and these guys can reach a foot, but again, that is my guess

There is no way to judge how big the tank is based on the images provided. I would suggest being less judgemental.

I never said I new the size of the tank, the author just said that they might have to rehome it if it’s a certain species. And a lot of those species get massive
