eartheater

Hello, I was planning on adding fish to either my empty (2'x2'x9') or (2'x2'x7'), maybe the latter. But I'm not super familiar with cichlids, but liked the earth eater cichlids for a tank primarily for upper jaw bichir around 13-15". The temperature I was thinking between 24-26C (75-78F). The...

Geophagus Pellegrini or Geophagus Crassilabris? went to my LPS and had a tank full of red head topajos (labeled) and was looking through the tank and found two oddballs. I’m not sure how often this happens to you all, but almost every shop I go to has tanks full of fish labeled correctly, but...

Hi I have this Red Head Thorichthys maculipinnis Adult for sale. Nothing wrong just looking to lighten my Bio load. Asking $60 obo located in 91335.

Really love these guys and the wait was worth it to see how well they mature. My cat has suddenly started noticing these guys. And chases them around from above thr tank. Im afraid this is stressing them out too much. 300 for the group

Hi Guys, I havent posted pics or vids on my tanks for a while now, thought I put them online for record purposes :) 1 - 750L, 1.8m aquarium. Asian Arowana (50cm in length). 6 x Geophagus Tapajos (approx 15cm each. Smallest is about 12, largest is 17cm). 1 x rainbow shark. 2 -150L Marine Tank -...

Hello chaps and chapettes My Geophagus Tapajos have yet another batch of fry, thought I would try and get some close ups of their larvophile mouthbrooding behavior. My colony of 7 geos is about 2.5 years old now. The largest is just shy of 17cm, and the smallest just over 12cm.

Just added a new piece of drift wood into my aquarium, I was hoping someone would be able to help me identify the type of wood? when I google it there a few different types, but they look the same. I would like to find out how long it will take for the tannins of this particular type to finish...

Hello everyone! I haven't had a tank for a few years now and the itch to get tanks again was really getting to me... so I gave in and purchased a 30 gallon tank. That lasted me two months, until I decided I needed something larger, so now I have both the 30 gallon tank and a 75 gallon tank...

Good Morning All, Can anyone assist me in identifying which Geophagus these are? Also are they male or female. I have attached a Pic of both, The suspected female is by the tiki ornament while the suspected male is against the black background. I was told these are surinamensis.

How old were your eartheaters when they started breeding? I heard for A. heckelii it takes 2-3 years. What about Geophagus? I know it depends on the species.

Finally got some Geophagus pellegrini from Rapps! I've wanted these for several years and money/availability have never lined up quite right until now. These are the ones from the Rio Atrato. I'll take some more photos once they settle in a little bit. They're currently in holding in a 40...

I've been trying to figure out my last fish for my tank. I want a easy breeding pair of Cichlids, but my tank has South American Geophagus while the Kribensis I am currently looking to get are West African. I've seen people on Youtube keep them together but i do not know if its wise. All i want...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice about my eartheater. He's usually a very active fish and has recently taken to resting on the bottom of the tank. I've done a water change and this hasn't made him any better. He also has recently had hole in the head which I have treated and has cleared up...

I am fairly new to the hobby and have been at it for about a year and a half now. I started from a 5 gallon to a 10 gallon, up to a 29 gallon and now a 50-gallon breeder tank that's 36 inch x 18 x 19 tall running on a Fluval 306 and a Fluval 206 filter and have overstocked a planted setup with...

Most of the Geophagus species that I've been researching are listed as peaceful and many of the Severums that I've been looking at as well are listed as semi-aggressive. Is there a possibility of these two species co-existing in a peaceful community tank or no?
