~~~LET'S SEE THOSE EARTHEATERS~~~

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Caquetaia spectabilis would be the 'mellowest' larger blue SA. I'd keep them with heckelii and maybe altifrons, but not with Satanoperca species or smaller geo's.
 
just something i find very interesting about Satanoperca Jurupari, well couple months ago a lady was selling her Silver dollars well i jump on them and got 2 BIG ones, i then put them in my 125gal with my 2 satanoperca jurus and few hours later i saw no movement what so ever most of the geos thought the Silvers were piranhas and everytime the silvers would swim close to the geos they would go lay on the bottom and change coloration to the darkest coloration they have.

Well this was just something i wanted to share an dwanted to know if someone has ever experienced something like this with their fish.

this is a very nice thread and lets keep it rolling will add pictures of the Satanopercas tomorrow.


Best Regards

I haven't seen it in person, but it makes sense. Satanoperca pappaterra has been observed in the wild using one or two members of their group to watch the school of piranha ... hence why they are found in groups. A lookout while the others feed, switching out.
 
Quick question. I know having 3 geos is a bad mix incase the 2 pair up and gang up on the third, but what if you had 3 males? Would that be able to balance out or would it just result in even more aggression?

I'd say once they establish a pecking order things should settle down...
