Earth Eaters!

[Agliata45]

I was thinking about putting a pair of Eartheaters in my 90g tank, i have no idea what species but i'll take any ideas! They'd be in there with a Jack Dempsey, some clown loaches, a channel catfish, and a pleco. and i don't mean a breeding pair, i just mean 2 males.

The channel cat needs to go...

Geos do best in groups too.

 

[Agliata45]

yeah the channel cat isn't going to be long term, and groups of how many?

 

[buddha1200]

got a few eartheaters u can have if you come pick them up,not sure of the id but they are in with my argentea pair and i have never had a problem.

 

[Agliata45]

how much do you want for them buddha?

 

[Allan01230]

Get a couple of geophagus altrifons. Very pretty and get large geo!

 

[bobbafett]

Yeah altifrons are a good call, but JD might be too aggressive. Pearl horseface if you want something abit more aggro, they get very large though.

 

[aclockworkorange]

There's a lot of different geos.

 

[Agliata45]

My JD is actually relatively passive, he doesn't cause any trouble in the tank. i really like the geo altrifons.

I wouldn't suggest putting any species of satanoperca with a JD. Although they will get big, they are by no means an aggressive fish and would get destroyed by a JD. Also, the satanoperca would do much better in a 6 foot tank long term.
