I did keep some of the babies, 4 of the ones in this tank are second generation. I've raised a couple spawns but I'm letting nature take its course now, need tank space for other fish. When I first got these geos I bought 6 and 5 of those were male, that poor female never got a minute to herself. Fun to watch all the guys try and show off though.

You got lucky I think I must have got all males. Its funny because the conspecific aggression was very high but he completely ignores all the other fish. Hopefully he grows up as beautiful as your male when he was breeding
yea these fish are quickly becoming one of my favorites, they are hungry little critters for sure though
Thanks. This is a late response, but yea I did keep a couple of the kids, 1 male and 3 females in this group are from one of the earlier spawns.
Thought I'd update this thread, I moved a bunch of fish around and re decorated this tank a small bit. Here's how it looks now
The stock is 4 uaru amphiacanthoides, one wild caught astronotus ocellatus, and 8 geophagus tapajos. I decided to move the angels and my plecos out so I make sure they are able to get enough food (I'm running a hex sheild treatment right now). So far the arrangement is working out in this tank.

thanks I love the big piece in the middle, its a pain to move around though. speaking of severums, I recently picked up some sevs labeled as heros sp. "curare". i don't think they are going in this tank though. all full at the inn.
