Josh, its Gymnogeophagus balzanii, they came in about 4 years ago but haven't seen them since, have been here before too. They're from southern Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay and really need cooler temperatures than most eartheaters and ideally a cooler winter resp period for a couple of months. I think thats where I failed with mine, I had a pair and a couple of males, one got picked on and died, another I had in a community with temps around 27-8C, and another that were in a species tank by themselves but lost them randomly one day. The solo male in the comm was great for a couple of years but then rapidly went down hill at about 2-3 years old. Great looking fish, wouldn't hesitate to set up a tank for them if they came in again... *hint hint!*
