The yellowhump eartheater, Geophagus pellegrini, is a cichlid from the Chocó and Antioquia departments of northwestern Colombia. The species is rare in the hobby, and most fish traded under its name are forms of 'G.' steindachneri or occasionally 'G.' crassilabris. Its yellowish colour pattern separates it from those two, the other members of the 'G.' steindachneri group. It is an ovophilous, maternal mouthbrooder.
