Thank you. I would like to keep him, but purchasing 3+ geos his size would break my bank...So selling him and getting a group of Geophagus sp. "Red Head Tapajos" or Geophagus sp. "Rio Pindare" is the next best thing.
Am planning on making the switch to PFS this weekend if all goes well.
Agreed. Most geos need groups of 4+ until they have reached 2/3 their ultimate size (and this is based only my experience talking with other geo keepers and my personal opinion). After that, they seem to do fine as singles or pairs. Unfortunately many of them get so big that a group of 4+ adults would be all anyone could keep in most of their tanks. Red head geos only get to 5-6" normally and a group of 4 of them needs at least a 75 and that would leave room for a few dithers and that is it. Many people would even argue a 6' tank is the minimum for a group of red heads. Now imagine what a group of adult altifrons would need being that they can hit 10-12"! LOL

The vast majority of LFSs only give advice that will sell stock. But there are a few honest stores still out there.
