eartheater?

[bbortko]

I have a 125 with an ebjd, nic, rotkeil, 4 sd and some swordtails and tetras so I don't have a lot of free space, I know most eartheaters like to be in groups but really miss having them. Are there any eartheaters that are ok kept as only singles or pairs?

u could do 3 red head geos.

u could do 3 red head geos.

They may be picked on by the nic and ebjd.

I would go with a pair of Geophagus Iporangensis. They are just like brasiliensis, but smaller, and would be able to hold their own with the rest of your stock. I think the vendor Anubias Design might have some.

So you would recommend a nic/edjd and orange heads as good tankmates?

 

[bbortko]

I like the way the iporagenssis look I'll have to look into those. My ebjd is a fiesty little booger, him and the nic have had their moment and he whips the nic up and down the tank.

ok what about Satanoperca leucosticta?

I doubt that. They only reach 4". I think most ebjd wouldn't have a problem unless they were smaller.

How big were they? An adult ebjd can do some serious damage to the orange heads if it wanted to.

ok what about Satanoperca leucosticta?

He said he only wants 1-2 fish. Leucostica do better in groups.
