Guianacara Geayi
Guianacara geayi have taxonomic affinities with Acarirthys
(the thread finned acaras), Aequidens and Geophagines. It is for
this reason and its availability in Australia that it is included in
this group. The bandit or panda cichlid as it is commonly known, is a
much overlooked fish with much charm and character. A small group of
unrelated individuals are best grown up together and pairs allowed to
form naturally. It does sift at the bottom of the tank so a substrate
that is fine is best for this species. The picture shows a fish with a
reddish tinge to the finnage, I have never seen this colour morph and
all the individuals I have seen have primarily clear finnage. This
colouration may be the result of the photography, some line breeding or
possibly colour enhancing foods.
