ALBINO GEOPHAGUS HECKELII

Albino Geophagus Heckelii (Albino Threadfin Eartheater)

The Albino Geophagus Heckelii is a stunning and rare variant of the popular Threadfin Eartheater Cichlid. This beautiful albino form displays a creamy white to light golden body, highlighted by flowing extended fin filaments and striking red eyes that create an elegant contrast.

Peaceful by nature, Geophagus Heckelii are known for their unique behavior of gently sifting sand through their mouths to find food — a fascinating sight in any tropical aquarium. The albino strain enhances their graceful appearance, making them a perfect centerpiece for large, well-maintained tanks with fine substrate and gentle water flow.

With proper care, warm water, and high-quality food, these fish grow into spectacular adults, showing long trailing fins and subtle iridescent shimmer. A true collector’s choice for anyone who appreciates rare and elegant South American cichlids.
