Good luck I'm sure you'll find some sevs it's funny all my lfs are stock with sevs and no geos I'm having a pretty hard time finding some but I will eventually just have to work on selling my other fish so my tank opens up more

Matt, my tank is more than just Geos and sevs, but they are a large percentage of it. I also have a Saxatilis pike, a true parrot (Hoplarchus psittacus), and three West African cichlids (Pelmatochromis nigrofasciatus). Everything else is Geophagus or Heros, though. They are a great mix. I also have some small Geophagus parnaibae and Heros sp. 'Atabapo' growing out together in another tank.

I use a combination of New Life Spectrum and Hikari Cichlid Gold pellets, plus occasional frozen snacks. I recently picked up some Xtreme pellets and the fish seem to enjoy them, too. I think it's more about clean water than anything. They get 90%+ w/c once a week. I drain the tank all the way down until the water line touches the tops of the fish.
 
Here's my tank that they will be in 180 gallons right now I have a green and gold severum that will be staying in there and a 1 inch redhead tapojaImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1338406400.661497.jpg
