here's my dominant pair...i have a colony of 5 red head tapajos in a 150g with my asian arowana..geos are starting to get some size and colours...their streamers are starting to grow in also...can't wait until they fully mature...putting in white pool filter sand was perfect for these guys...they constantly change the bottom of the tank shifting thru the sand..

I have a group in a 125. What do you do to yours to get them to grow large? Mine have stayed small (3in max) forever, sometimes they show nice color but not always.

Here are mine - only had em for a while before selling them back to the LFS, they were causing my poor little African brown knife fish some grief.

i feed them 2x per day..hikari gold pellets...they will also eat scraps that my aro misses during feeding time (shrimp/meal worms/scallops)...50% water changes weekly...nothing out of the ordinary...finally had my first spawn the past month also...growing out some fry now...2 biggest males and dominant female are around 5" now...
