Once again: Geophagus mirabilis

6. June 2025

Due to a misunderstanding, we inadvertently posted some wrong pictures last week. Instead of the Geophagus mirabilis described in the text, they were breeding specimens of G. sp. “Jatapu”, a scientifically undescribed species that we will soon be able to offer. Here are the correct pictures of fully grown Geophagus mirabilis.

Our heartfelt thanks to Uwe Werner, who first noticed the mistake and sent us the beautifully correct pictures, and to Andreas Jekel, who also helped to clear up the error. All pictures of the corresponding homepage entry show the real G. mirabilis: https://www.aquariumglaser.de/en/fisharchive/geophagus-mirabilis-3/
