I have been keeping eartheaters for some time in community set ups with smaller fish and am struggling to get a relaxed combination going on.
I write this out of frustration as I am currently sitting next to my 100g set up and watching my fish just chase each other around continuously and its driving me mad.
The stock consists of the following mix of eartheaters
Satanoperca Leucosticta x1 at 7inch
Satanoperca Jurupari x1 at 3inch
Geophagus Orangehead Tapajos x2 at 3inch
Geophagus Altifrons x2 at 5inch and 2.5 inch
The problems seem to be between the smaller fish. The small altifrons chases both orangeheads and the jurupari, one orangehead chases the other (bad) and also 'fronts' the bigger altifrons. No one bothers the large Leucousticta. I have a dwarf pike in there also and some corries and tetras to create distractions but nothing is working.
There was a time when this mix of fish got on fine for about a month and now its complete agro!
Any advice?
