🐟 Sveni Eartheater – (Geophagus sveni) – Peaceful South American Cichlid for Sale

The Sveni Eartheater (Geophagus sveni) is a beautiful and peaceful South American cichlid known for its metallic blue body, red accents, and elegant finnage. As with other eartheaters, it gets its name from its feeding behavior—scooping mouthfuls of sand or fine gravel to sift out edible bits. Native to slow-moving rivers of Brazil, this species thrives in planted aquariums with sandy substrates and does best in groups. Its gentle temperament makes it an excellent choice for community tanks with other peaceful cichlids and larger tetras.
