The title says it all. I'm really really thinking about getting some redhead tapajos for my 75G. I will rehome my current 4 fish if everything goes good
Do anybody have any redhead tapajos?

Redhead tapajos in 75G

I used to keep Tapajos in my 75g. At one point I had 7. It was fine as juveniles, but it looked seriously cramped once they grew up. Even though there wasn't any aggression, I wouldn't do it again.
When I moved the group to a 6' 135g tank it was much better.
I have also kept them in a group as small as 3. I know people say they should be kept in groups, but they were fine as a trio. Obviously more looks better, but I don't think they acted any differently or were adversely affected, but what do I know. I'm not a fish.

O really
Many people say I need a group of at least 4
Or 5
But I plan to get many 6 for my 75G
Or maybe 4
Thanks for the feedback
In your 75G did u have any tankmates?
Some people also tell me that their not aggressive
i had 7 in my 75g. lots of aggression. I wouldn't do it again. Spawning was rampant too. Enjoying my single wet pet far far more!
Wow. Really
7 of them
Must have been overcrowded
Wow. U wouldn't do it again?
What fish do you have?
What size were they
I plan to get 6 for my 75G
You think that much been too many?
max 4-5 inches (males) females were like 3-4 inches. i kept a school of lemon tetras with them as dither fish which kept them out in the open but did nothing to curb aggression. As soon as you have a pair formed its all over. My one pair would take over the whole tank and beat on the other ones to protect the fry.
I didn't like the crazy agresive behavior so no I wouldn't attempt to keep geos in a group unless I had a massive tank. like even 6' tank is going to be small for multiple geo pairs once they are mature. I had red head tapajos.

Yes I understand
Yow u said u had redheads
But that's your flaut not rehomin the tankmates or separtate them
But sheesh. Thats though. Because u had a 75G and I have one. But I plan to get 6 at first.
Or maybe 4. And no tank mates
If you don't put dither with the redheads they will hide a lot. They are very shy fish. as they get older it gets better though but a group of tetras is required imo. I got rid of them all for that reason. I re-homed them, when they were all in good health and no major other than a few torn fins
Thanks a lot buddy
I don't believe they will hide that much
Maybe you had lots of movement by the tank
Their not that shy
Lol
Plus I don't have much hiding spots.
