Geophagus sveni Rio Parana

Geophagus sveni “Rio Paraná” is a colorful eartheater cichlid distinguished by its shimmering body, red and blue facial markings, and graceful fin extensions. Native to the Paraná River basin, this peaceful sand-sifter thrives in groups, displaying natural foraging behavior that keeps substrates clean. Ideal for large, well-structured aquariums, it adds both beauty and activity to community setups with compatible tankmates.

Note: The Geophagus sveni Rio Araguari is similar to the Geophagus sveni Rio Parana variant except minor differences in markings and color. 

Fish Size Guide:

The 'Maximum Size' outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

Discus.ae prefers younger stock for their better ability to adapt to new water parameters and higher tolerance against transport. On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as "Large" or "Adult".
