Geophagus Winemilleri 2inch

A sandy substrate is necessary for all Geophagus due to their earth-eating habits. Geophagus winemilleri is a Brazilian species found primarily in blackwater habitats in the Rio Negro drainage.

Both males and females have orange bodies with red and sky blue fluorescent stripes running laterally between the gills and caudal fin. Their fins are decorated with red and blue patterns of spots and stripes. Typically this fish has a max size of 8", but we have seen them get as large as 10"!
