I saw this thread for the first time tonight. Your tank is really shaping up. Very nice. Even if you do nothing else your effort is extremely impressive.

True geayi? They're rarely imported as they're from French Surinam. Sphenozona are way more common in the hobby, definitely worth looking not if you havent

Unfortunately they are not geayi, I can guarantee it. geayi lack the black rays on the dorsal fin, as well as featuring a full black stripe instead of a spot. You most likely have stergiosi :) either way it's an awesome genus and I whole heartedly regret trading in mine

They are indeed stergiosi, and young Mr. Lizard is correct the true geayi are few and far between. But that in my opinion doesn't take away from the simple beauty they possess. The stick looks very peaceful and relaxing, I'd like to see some close up pictures my friend.

Guianacara are one of my favorites genera as they seem to combine the looks and behaviors of several other genus, like geophagus, cleithracara, and biotodema. Truly awesome when in large groups
