Geo Altrifon...

[MarlboroMan]

This morning I woke up did a water change. While I was watching the clean new water going in, I noticed one of my Geos were weird in color. It was camoflauged looking, like army fatigues but in silver and black. The color returned in a couple minutes, liike nothing happened. This is the Geo that also has the darkest black spot.

[MarlboroMan]

I know its not due to stress, only the alpha gets it.

 

[taksan]

Yeah my top male does that too during every water change .... must be a thing for them.

 

[MarlboroMan]

So only the alpha gets stressed then, probally from trying to keep the other 3 in check.

I had a few, did that at water changes. One thing about those was that they took forever to grow.

i love my altifrons too. Its a very cool fish but almost always eats off the bottom. He's in a 90 with some other geo's and urau and i worry that he's not getting enough to eat because the rest of my geo's are very greedy eaters.

Yeah I see my geos picking up most their food from the ground, but Im not worried as their bellies are round.
