Could be Geophagus Altifrons. From what I understand true G. Surinamensis are very rare.

Geophagus of some sort. The Geo groups consist of 24 different species. I would say Altifrons. Very peaceful South American.

They like sand to dig in, The crystal sands brand I told you about will treat them well! I have seen many people keep them in with discus or other mellow fish. Yes they do get large!
Live blackworms are a very good food for them! They can live in the tank for months and with their constant sifting they find the stragglers from time to time!

I would say the brasilinis I have about 20 of them they get rather lrg but very gorgeous when mature. I bought the whole tank when a local pet store was going out and thought about breeding them but so far no.

Not a brasilianis. Looks to be a surinaminsis or megasema type.

definitely a Geophagus in the surinamensis family. More than likely not true surinamensis as they are incredibly rare in the hobby since nobody collects in Suriname. Probably Geo abalios or altifrons. Spot looks a little large for altifrons but doesnt look prominent enough for abalios. If it disappears, its altifrons.
