Geophagus Iporangensis is the outdated name for the G. Brasiliensis, aka Pearl Cichlid (Pearl Eartheater, Pearlscale cichlid, etc).

Edit: Mbipi Lutea is almost definetly a haplochromis. I looked up and saw a picture of it, resembles H. obliquidens, thickskin, and nyererei

Theres tons of info on the net about the geophagus, just do a google search about geophagus brasiliensis...

Are the fish in the same tank? The two africans would probably like a higher pH than the geophagus.
