Anybody into Geophagines????

I love Geophagines, I just don't have tanks large enough for them at the moment. Satanoperca daemon is probably my favorite fish. In the next few months I'll be setting up two new tanks, the current plan is to centerpiece Biotodoma wavrini as they stay small enough for my tanks.

Geophagus are some of my favorite fish - currently I'm going back towards Central Americans as I've acquired some large tanks and rare specimins - but have future plans for a 240 gallon 8 foot tank for some suriamensis and tapajos orange heads in the future.

I've bred quite a few of them, started with red humps years and years ago when they were still commonly sold at almost any LFS you walk into

Awesome fish - South American's are just all around nice.

ive kept a few, i had jurapari, surinamensis, altifrons, heckel and red head tapajos

my 6" surinamensis is a beaut and stands up to anything that messes with it

/me puts hand up

I'm looking for some red head tapajos do you guys know where i can find some?

Beautiful Family of Fish. They are like the South American Frontosa. If I had a few more 200 gallon tanks I'd keep them.

They seem to be really slow growers though. The Red Head Tapajos in the store are starting to show some great colour.

Altifrons are one of my favorite Geos.

BTW, this should definitely turn into a Geophagus photo thread.
