Geophagus vs Uaru fernandezyepezi

[R1_Ridah]

never saw a 'panda' before they look pretty damn cool hows the personality?

Very out going, personable, swims and explores a lot. Likes to nibble on my driftwood. It eats like PIGS...I could probably throw anything in there and it will eat it. However, territorial, bossy, aggressive, can start to push and shove then lip lock, then fin nips.... Shame I can't keep them. Main reason I had set up this tank was for the Altums, Discus and Geo's... the two was just thrown in the mix because of the opportunity to get them. Rarely see them around.

I think so...these two are pretty aggressive.... They represent the RAIDERS colors..that's why they are so aggressive....lol...

I guess you gotta keep them away from any maroon and gold fish then ehhh

Keep the Uaru. You will kick yourself if let go

If you want to keep the discus the panda have to go. I have the common uarus and they are bossy smart fish no way could I ever keep my Sweet discus with them.

If you were to let the discus go and replace them with more pandas it could work but it does not sound like the plan. So geos work best with what you are going for.

I have 2 they are 5" and 6" I got them as rescues from a lady that was seller her tank they had bad HITH. So i did not get to grow them out myself these guys just kind of found me. They are really cool fish and I am happy I have them.

The only reason Id say to get rid of the geos is cuz I MIGHT know of a buyer haha but it's all what you want going on in the tank. Geos are one of the most peaceful SA's. so if you're looking for peacefulness then Geos are what you keep...but if you like the aggressiveness of the Pandas..then there is your answer..I know first hand how hard it is to get rid of fish..got rid of a pair of leucs and im still kicking myself over it! but I had to do what was best for them and what was going on in the tank..guess that's what you'll have to weigh in! good luck with the decision..personally the geos are more beautiful..
