Geophagus sp. "Bahia Red"

The Geophagus sp. "Bahia Red" is a vibrant, peaceful South American cichlid from Brazil's Bahia region, known for its rosy face/fin hues and iridescent scales, often confused with G. brasiliensis, featuring less spotting and a unique color, growing to about 6-8 inches, and needing sandy substrates for its signature sifting behavior in tanks with other non-aggressive fish.
