geophagus

So I’m considering getting some new fish and my Lfs had some juvenile Geophagus Surninamensis for sale. I have a 75 gallon with a 12 in lapradei Bichir and My number one priority is to make my Bichir happy. In the past I had to rehome oscars and flowerhorns since they attacked my Bichir. Will...

Hi guys Just an update on my Geophagus and Buttikoferi aquarium. 750L, 1.8m tank to recap. last month (beginning November) the Butti's paired up (got rid of the third one) and started digging themselves a breeding pit. As long as the Geos stay away from the pit, everyone seems to be getting...

First time in th MFK community so I hope I’m ok asking for ID help. She looks to be a type of Geophagus but the store I bought her from didn’t know for certain which type she was. I have her with 5 G. Tapajos at the moment but would like to see if need to get more of her Geo type. She was just...

Hello everyone! I haven't had a tank for a few years now and the itch to get tanks again was really getting to me... so I gave in and purchased a 30 gallon tank. That lasted me two months, until I decided I needed something larger, so now I have both the 30 gallon tank and a 75 gallon tank...

Hi Please could somebody help with issue and potential treatment for my two Geos that are currently looking ill. No other fish in the tank seem to have any symptoms and everything else continues to feed fine but these two seem to be getting worse each day. Thanks

The Jardini needs to be quick, if he doesn't dash across the tank for his shrimp he looses it to the mob. He has given up trying to get it back from them once they have it haha.

May I please get some stocking opinions? This is my first time keeping Geophagus. I have a 110 gallon tank. 60.5" long, 16.5" wide, and 25.5" tall. I am considering either Abalios or Red Head Tapajos. I am thinking 6. Does this sound like a good number? I also have access to Winemilleri...

Just showing off my Geophagus Tapajos. One of my favorite fish to keep I love how these fish aren't skittish, always get so inquisitive when you place your hands in tank, and swarm around your hand as soon as you start messing with/stirring around the substrate wanting to see what you have...

Good Morning All, Can anyone assist me in identifying which Geophagus these are? Also are they male or female. I have attached a Pic of both, The suspected female is by the tiki ornament while the suspected male is against the black background. I was told these are surinamensis.

I've got some earth eaters and plecos I need help rehoming. I'm not really wanting to ship as I've got a place I can dump everything for cheap if I need to. L256 Royal Sunshine Pleco (x4) LG $400 L014 Sunshine Pleco XLG (x2) $300 L114 Leopard Cactus XLG (x1) MD (x1) $100 and $40 XLG Proven...

Well plans have changed a little with the trio of oscars I have. Today I got rid of 11 fish which cut the bio load I had in half leaving me with 8 fish, I did a large water change and then got things back to normal. I have been housing 3 oscars temporarily in a 20 gallon long set up as a lot...

Going to be exploring something different and trying aquarium photography, these pictures are of some of the fish in my 125. Let me know what y’all think

I have a 125 gallon South American setup currently filtered by a fluval fx6 and a 80 gallon HOB filter. Looking to get rid of the HOB and do a DIY canister filter made out of a 5 gallon bucket, Anyone have any good tips, designs or ideas for this ? I was originally gonna purchase a fluval fx4...

Hello, I am going to be rescaping and changing the fish around in my 180G tank (6x2x2ft with a 4ft sump). I am new to a planted tank so don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes to it but I have extensive knowledge in regards to fish keeping. The big part of it which I guess will affect other...

Hi guys Made an update video of my geophagus tapajos red head tank. Have a look if you're interested! Happy weekend!

I am wondering if it is possible to keep a single saum cichlid with my group of 7 geo. Tapajos? I imagine to each other they would look similar, and I don't want my geos being harassed or anything. Tank dimensions are 6ft x 2ft x 2ft, there would most likely also be a school of silver...

Hello everyone, I got 4[1jumped out and passed away :(] geophagus labeled as geophagus tapajos red head. It was like 8months ago and they were probably 3/4months old. The thing is I already had a couple 4years ago and they were a lot light color and with more red and orange than this ones, and...

Hello Fellow Fish Lovers, A little background to explain my situation. For the last year I have been testing a "no water change" 220 liter aquarium for a company. The goal of this test is to determine if their filteration system works as they advertise - basically, beautiful tank with little to...
