As for your last pic.. it is indeed Geophagus sp "Orange Head" or more usually referred to as "Red Head" in the hobby. We have some in stock now, but from previous batches sold to LTO, he has indeed pointed out to me the i.d on Cichlid-forum which has confused me too. There are 3 similiar looking species, i.e Orange head from Rio Tapajos, Rio Araguari and sp Tapajos II. Both the Tapajos and Araguari are very similiar.. Tapajos II has no red/orange on the head. As for the species in stock, I am leaning towards Tapajos Orange head as they are more commonly available in the hobby, the other two sps. are not. We also have Geophagus sp. Bahia Red.. which resembles Geophagus brasilliensis, many think they are the same. We don't know until some scientific papers come out. As for now, they are two different sps.

Btw, I thought Kev gave you a geophagus 101 lesson already ?

what is the max size for jurupari sp. S.leucosticta? may keen in some if their max size is 5"...

Afraid they go beyond that.... 8" to 10".

As for G.jurupari, its the most common mistake in the trade. Real jurupari is not often in the trade the species mostly found is Satonopercna leucosticta, also very common.
