geophagus

So I've been doing some looking around for a while now trying to figure out if red ceder is safe to use, ( I have 2 large pieces in my 125 gallon setup) I found mixed opinions, some people saying no at all and some saying yes if it is old and boiled/ soaked properly. I have been having an issue...

I've been looking at starting up a Reverse Osmosis System to try and purify my tap water because I'm starting to think that my tap water contains high levels of nitrates and that is why I'm having a hard time keeping nitrates down in my 125 gallon setup. I've been looking at the RO unit that...

So as some of you know I have a nice 14 inch vulture cat that is by far my favorite fish and truly a pet to me rather than just a fish. The other day he was being a bit shy when trying to feed him which is not normal as he normally swims up the glass looking for food and will usually have no...

Had nothing going on so figured I might as well do a water change why not can’t hurt nitrates are a bit hire than I’d like anyway

What’s everyone feeding there fish? What’s your favorite brand of food ? - I feed a diet of omega one kelp pellets, omega one cichlid pellets, market shrimp, frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp with spirulina, and San Francisco Bay silver sides

Hello everyone, I'm looking to make an upgrade to approx 120G tank (48x30x24) I was hoping if I could get an idea of the type of cichlids I could keep in this setup. Iv got a few in mind which I am fond of, but am not sure if its worth risking if they will kill each other. Of course I...

In my tank currently I have 2 Senegal Bichir, a regular that appears male and an albino that appears female, judging from its fatter body, both are about 4in. With them I have a gold severum and angelfish, along with a large sailfish pleco that I plan on trading in once my bristlenose gets a few...

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 have a 55 gallon tank with: . 1 geo altifrons . handful of tetras . handful of danios . for cory cats I need to get some new fish, but I'm not sure what to go with. The 55 is planted and has a black background. I would like some colorful fish. Thanks for any help!

Hi Guys! Who here has taken care of this species? Are they really that aggressive? Will a single male work with say a group of proximus, tapajos and surinamensis? In a 360 gallon with a footprint of 8'x3'.

Hi guys! Would keeping individual leucosticta and jurupari work with other geophagus? So far, I already have orange heads and proximus in groups over 5 each. Do you think this will work? Will they not be lonely?

I have a leopard bush fish and a geophagus braziliasus that are prob close to 2 inches in a 20 long to grow out. I would like to put then in a 75 so I can start to redo the 20. My main concern is my 7-8 inch delhezi, iv never seen him be aggressive but that doesn't mean he wont. I also have a 6...

I bought this fish 1 year ago. Now they are 3-4 inch long. I was pretty sure of species I have, until they spawned.

So it's been a minute since I've added any new fish to my tank with consists of mostly wild caught Geo's and Severums. I'm currently thinking adding a group of 6 Geo Brasilenis, 4 Red Head Geo's, 3 Aequiden Diadema, 4 Biotodoma Cupido and finally 4 Pterophlyyum Scalare. I do plan to select the...

I recently set up a heavily wooded 135 gallon tall for some Geophagus Winemilleri i had aquired and ended up with 2 different Royal Plecos. So i started doing some digging on all the types and really, there isn't a good amount of intel reguarding them on the net. So i need some experts. One of...

I'm revamping my 75g tank and am interested in adding geophagus to it. What I plan on currently keeping are my Gold Severum, my featherfin catfish, and my Senegal Bichirs (1 large and two small adolescents [pictured]). I am rehoming my standard pleco and remaining 2 silver dollars (the rest of...

So I was just checking in on my fish before I went to bed, and lo and behold I find quite the surprise. Apparently the two most colorful of my Geophagus Sp. Redhead Tapajos have paired up and laid eggs. I've only had them for maybe 3 months if even that long. The biggest one (the female) can't...
