How many??? Just depends on what you plan for the future of your tank. I would load up with some Altifrons, redheads, etc. And as they grow, just weed the ones out you do not like. I just sold all of my Altifrons 'Manuas' just because I didn't like them compared to some of my other geos. Just get what makes you happy
Also, just from my experience, I have several different species of loaches in with my Geos. I have seen that they help break the aggression somewhat because they both stay near the bottom of the tank creating more 'traffic' and less one on one chases between the geos. I'm not sure if your black aro would see the loaches as food or not.
As for future plans I'm keeping the aro and wanted to have mostly geos in there probably 9 geos.
Another question what the max size of the red heads I've read post of 7" but also read other places on the web a max size of 5".
Japes what's the geo in your avitar...heckli?? Ya think that would replace the brasiliensis well in my set up? max size?
. You might see 8" max, thats including the trailers from their tail.
