Geophagus sveni stocking qiestion.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I would love to do a school of Peru scalare! I love angelfish I didn't think I could though. Yeah I figured there were alot of opinions on this.
I just don't want any issues in the tank.
I would love to have the 6 sveni as the center price then maybe angel/tetras.. I'm just not 100% sure on how many of the angel/tetras are good for a 150 where I become overstocked
 
My experience was the angels didn't pay much attention to the geos. I've had two groups of wild Peru scalare, one very peaceful, the other fussed with each other sometimes but didn't bother the geos. I had some tall driftwood, creating a bit of upper level structure that the angels seemed to like. I've had congo tetras with geos and no problems. Haven't done a lemon tetra/geo combination, but from what I read about them they can sometimes be nippy with long finned fish.

As for angelfish are you restricted too just scalare? Or do any type work. I don't know much about angels and aggression and thier schooling

I also read somewhere that lemon tetras could be fin nippers is that true?

Majority of tetras if kept in large groups won’t nip or touch other fish. I’ve had lemon tetras multiple times and never had an issue. Each time I had a minimum of 20

Okay awesome, I'll probably do 6-7 geos with 20 lemons.. would that be over stocked for a 150 6 foot long? Or am I good
