fish to co inhabit with geophagus

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just a heads up, the G braziliensus group are quite different from the Amazonian geophagines (as alluded to, and shown in the video).
They come from coastal areas of southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, where water parameters are harder, more mineral rich, and can be seasonally cooler than those of the Amazon (I kept mine in low 70sF, and they spawned at temps around 68'F, pH 7.8, 250ppm total hardness). They can even found in brackish estuaries.

the most aggressive brasiliensus died . I believe he ate too much. the others are doing well. His eating habits were as aggressive as he was attacking others
