Ya Jeff rapps has wild sveni for sale right now but they're quite spendy. 125 per fish actually. I definitely can't afford that right now haha^^ nice do it. Geo Sveni is also unreal. Imagine like 8 or 9 these guys in a tank.

Those are not geos. They are Acaricthys heckelii.If you can get your hands on a geo like this let me know!
The second fish is not G. sveni.^^ nice do it. Geo Sveni is also unreal. Imagine like 8 or 9 these guys in a tank.
I'll take a pic today of the male. He's huge so definitley a good couple years old. I know the true suranemsis are extremely rare to find or get but if these are truly from the wild then there's at least a chance the guy selling them is telling the truth. Either way I'm really happy with the fish. Super beautiful.Those are not geos. They are Acaricthys heckelii.

G. surinamensis are not in circulation in the hobby unless you got them from Oliver Lucanus in Canada last year. Most of the fish in the US called surinamensis end up being altifrons or abalios. You would need clearer pictures of the fish from a profile view so you could see the combination of stress bars, cheek marking (or lack thereof), tail pattern, and midlateral spot to try and determine the species.
I also thought it looked winemilleriThat looks like Winemilleri, but to be honest I find that many Geos look almost indistinguishable, unless you're doing a side by side comparison with known species; at which point it's much easier to say "this is this and that is that".
I'll defer to others on this!
Regardless though, that is a nice looking specimen.
Nope no black stripe on the gill cover. Just a shiny greenish stripeDoes it have a black stripe on the gill cover? If not,it's not winemilleri.
