Description
Geophagus altifrons, sometime known simply as the Eartheater Cichlid, is a mid-to-large sized species of cichlid from the amazon. Like all Geos they are most comfortable in groups, and are relatively peaceful for a cichlid of their size. Soft sand is recommended to allow these Eartheaters to live up to their name, sifting food out of the substrate.
These are approximately 1" long babies of the 'Altamira' locale, which sports blue lips on a gold and green body with red fins as an adult.
