damn i didn't realize you hadn't posted in a while! those are gorgeous btw... i have some dicrozosters that sound and look somewhat similar. dicroz are always bickering and chasing each other around... definitely more aggressive. even my red head geos are pretty mellow in comparison.
Typical stuff, tank lighting (4x39W split), 550D with an old 50mm 1.8 @ 2.2-2.5 I believe.
Was hoping to see this thread when I saw you posting in Pete's Uaru F thread, those Geos are looking amazing! Pity you can't sneak some young across the ditch, I'd love to get my hands on something other than the same old tired altifrons/leucosticta that is all we get here. What else are you keeping with them? At 20cm that big male would be large enough to pick off smaller fish like cories or tetras eh?
They're currently in with:
- 40 odd Inpaichthys kerri (varying sizes, many are fresh into the tank as the original colony slowly whittled away due to age over the last 24 months)
- ~15 large adult Corydoras caudimaculatus
- ~12 or so moderately sized Golden Pencilfish (N. beckfordi) - These guys were moved out of a tank I've just shut down.
- ~4 Otocinclus sp.
Honestly, the Eartheaters don't even look at the live fish. An Otocinclus has been lodged in a mouth before but that was accidental.
