Geophagus Surinamensis

[LBUK]

Hello all.
I have a fluval 240l tank which measures 120cm x 40 cm x 50 cm its roughly 60 US gallons I believe. Its currently filtered by a fluval 306 and a fluval fx6. I have 3 roughly 5" Geophagus Surinamensis with a BN pleco and was wondering is the tank at capacity or is there room for some more fish to fill the gaps? I was looking for advice as aqadvisor says the tank is only 49% full but im unsure.

Thanks!

You don't have Geophagus Surinamensis, this fish is extremly rare in hobby. Can you upload some photos?
Your tank is small for your Geophagus, but there is some room for other fish. Choose some small fish (up to 4").

Those are the 3 I got they were labelled as the above, I have 0 experience with any eartheaters so have you any idea what they are?

I am not sure, but it could be Geophagus altifrons

Well if thats the case then I have 3 of those potentially. Is the tank overstocked or is there room for more?

It could of been possible, however slim, that he had Surinamensis considering Rapps had them on his stock list for over a month.


Very nice fish, by the way OP. Enjoy them.

Thanks! They are very beautiful fish. They are also very satisfying to watch!

I agree -- I have some g. sveni and g. neambi myself... beautiful fish and interesting behaviors.

The local maidenhead near me had an Albino Geophagus. It looked similar to mine the manager wasnt sure exactly what it was but it looked unbelivable.

I havent seen albino Geophagus yet. They might be Acarichthys heckelii:
