How many geophagus in 220g L72"xW24"xH28

Maybe someone else that keeps them will chime in.
I'm not really a barb fan but ones I have had in the past mainly spanner barbs have stayed low down in the tank.

Yeah my Denison barbs are usually in the bottom half of the water column. Not the best choice for activity up top. Agree with pink tail chalceus for the top water fish.

Pink tails don't move though unless feeding do they?

 

[aquaticeye]

Not very much no

What about the common hatchetfish (Gasteropelecus sternicla)? I believe they get around 3 inches and are very active. Plus they have a deep body that would make it difficult for even a full grown geo to swallow. Even if they did manage to catch one and get it in their mouth, the geo most likely wouldn't choke on it.

That's a good choice for the upper water column

Stick with what you have. Once the altifrons are larger they will occupy the whole tank until they get spooked. I had mine with cories for 2 years until 1 adult chocked on one and died. It works for awhile until one day it doesnt
