geophagus

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...

This will be the first entry of my progress/process of getting a group of 9 geophagus winemilleri in an attempt to get at least one breeding pair. The setup is simple. 135 gallon custom tall tank i got for free from a friend. I have 2 Magnum canisters made by Marineland and a 130g HOB that i...

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...

Hey I believe I have a few winemilleri in my tank as well due to LFS error. I want to know if these guys can breed with red head tapajos. I am pretty sure that they can so if anyone knows please inform me so that I can start separating the heard. That or I will have geo winos later this year for...

On photos is fish labelled as "Geophagus sp. rio Negro". Photos are made by mine friends who own this fish. This fish is common in local fish stores and fish tanks here (Czech republic and Slovak republic). But when I look on web sites and forums from other countries, this fish is extremely rare...

Special ordered a bunch of different s American cichlids and got a extra bag of 4 fish I didn't order. And werent marked so who can identify them they look like possible part of the Geophagus family but not 100% so anyone know what they are

Just wanted to know if anyone had some insight on the full latin name (im assuming the genus is geophagus but what is the species?) for Geophagus sp. Tapajos "red head". This geo is fairly common in the hobby now-a-days and I can't imagine it hasn't been described by the scientific community...

Hope everyone is keeping cool, during the horrible heat. All fishes are healthy, only getting rid of them since I decided to go a different route. Need them out quickly so taking all reasonable offers. The prices are already great, I think- But still willing to take offers- because I need them...

Picked up a 265 a few months back for 400 bucks due to a leaky seal. After resealing it and months of selecting what fish and what kind of setup I want to run I am finally about complete. Fish are in it and they are happy but I am still fine tuning for the next few weeks. Guess I should list...

I am looking to go in a different direction with my 125 gallon tank. All fish in good shape. FOR SALE NTT Datnoid - $60 - healthy but he's been eating krill and hasn't taken pellets, about 6-7 inches. Indo Datnoid - $60 - eats everything, very healthy, about 5 inches. 2 Seremensis Geos -...

Hey guys, I am stocking up my 66 gallon tank (1.2 x 0.45 x 0.45M) soonish and am looking for nice cichlids for the tank. I have already looked at dempseys, discus and oscars and they just are not nice for me I really wanted a small group of red head Tapajos but my gravel is a bit big (2-4mm)...

Hi everyone, A week ago today I purchased 7 sub adult (3-3.5") tapajos. I acclimated them for at least an hour through drip acclimation. The tank is a 75g that has been setup for a while but removed all the plants and driftwood (sold that stuff to buy new stuff) got new low tech plants and...

Hey guys, A few weeks ago I posted a picture of my Redheads with minor HITH. Ive been treating them with meds (metronidazole). Ive been treating them for the recommended time on the packaging, but I want to be sure that the parasite is gone. I was treating them by medicating the aquarium...

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?
