ALTUMS & GEOS

[R1_Ridah]

great pics/fish! did you get the altums from rainbow?

Rainbow? They have Altums..is this recent. I need to go over there. If it was the tank that had all the angels with the sold sign? Then those aren't Altums.

u just can't go with out pbass, can you ?? LOL

LoL.... Can't do it man... It's like an addiction.

wow!! impressive quality of pics.

Awesome yawn shot.

Thanks guys

Beautiful fish dude!

very nice joe like the altums for sure everybody looks great!!

looks great!
one of the big geos has a really sunken belly /arched back... internal parasites?

Yea, could be. I picked it up a few days ago from a LFS. I asked how long they've had it and was told for a few months. It was in a solitary tank where it looked neglected. I asked if it was a medicated tank and was told no. Could have not been fed regularly anticipating a sale? Could have been a wild caught that's just been imported? Its active and feeding aggressively so I'm monitoring it's weight gain the next few weeks. If nothing changes than yes, I'll be treating it for possible parasite.

Very nice - looks like you have a good mix in there. It will be even nicer when those altums get some size on them!

Thanks, naw he's in there. He was in the last photo shoot. I'm picking up a few more in the next couple of weeks.

The geo with the arched back is just fine, a little skinny but fine. Have a look at Geophagus Proximus pics (specifically the nuchal region, mid-lateral spot and caudal pattern). Nice pics and great job healing them up! I caught a G. Altifrons, G. Dicrozoster and S. Daemon in there too. Your hooked dude!

Those S. Daemon are going to be the best looking eartheaters in your tank. IMO Satanoperca Daemon, Acarichthys Heckelii and Geophagus Winemilleri are the best looking of the eartheater species.

Thanks for the insight. Good eye...

Yea, I was already hooked on setting up a tank for either Geo's or Mobas, but decided to go Geo's. Especially after seeing member Juilan's tank...wow... never seen Geo's so big...made me have a glimpse of the future.

btw - Dude, your slacking on your overhaul thread. I'm following it and want to see more pictures man....lol...

I was about to buy from that company you bought your background from but the idea of being able to pick up mine locally out weighed the shipping =-)
