Eartheaters - Geophagus sp (split from classifieds)

[Proteus]

If the fishes is purchased form SLS , a year ago . THe fishes is mostly come from Andrew (a.k.a AMK or AMG) , [ correct me if i m wrong , KEvkoi ]

the type was Geophagus altifrons " Aripuana""

here is a link of the spawn http://www.aceforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=9073

THere is no Geophagus altifrons avaliable privately for less than $40 ,
retail was around $70-$90

I should like to state for the record, that the ACE site does not allow any mention of this sites name, or links or anything similar to appear on it.

Reason, they dont like me personally, and, Discus are hybrids??? OMG!!!

Regardless of there reasons, the link to that site remains...

and to think, some of those fish images posted on ACE are my fish... RFLMAO

link Proteus provides is of a red/orange head i.e Geophagus Rio Tapajos "Orange Head", which is not

a Geophagus brachybranchus

back on topic, when you look at certain websites, fishbase included, it lists the brachybranchus as an Orange Head???

very strange, maybe it is from a different locality?

as for the Black throat, it is clearly visible that altifrons dont have this.

Well I hope the thread stays there. I would really love to learn more about the altifrons. There still seems to be a lot of confusion about the different species. Hope someone can come up with some answers :P
