A friend of mine has a fish called a "rainbow" Geophagus and wants to know the scientific name.
Does anyone have an idea what it is?

that could be any # of geos, it could be brachybrancus, altifrons, dicrozosrter, paribae, proximus, many geos are labeled by completly bogus names, ex.
i have picked up 7 different geos all labeled as surinaminsis, heres what they actually turned out to be,
true geophagus surinaminsis are nearly impossible to find, do to years of hybridisation, and over fishing i have searched for 6 years to find true pure suris, noone has ever seen any.
give me a pic, and i will id no problem, but without a pic, the best anyone can do is guess, there are hundreds of subspecies and geographic variations within sp.
i would say more than likely that it is some sp. of gymnogeophagus.
more than likely it is either blue neon, el norte, or or something similar.
