cheap!!! i got 13 off them for 20 bucks. I only have 6 in this 90g. they are also housed with 2 texas cichlids for now. so what suggestions would you guys have for some tankmates?

what size a fish are wanting to go with them??? Similar shape??? or small dithers???


I just bought some cheap White clouds and Bloodfin Tetra for dithers and I already have some Altifrons with them. I thought about some Sevs but decided to keep the tank all eartheaters besides my dithers.

Here is a pic thread of mine with only the Geos and very few plants. I have since added a lot of plants and of course the dithers......

oohhhh, nevermind, just went to look for my old pic thread and I see you were the last to post in it. Cool. BTW, 80% of that driftwood was from spunjin(Sean). He is a hell of a guy and will gladly do custom orders for you. It took him about a week or so to go find the wood I wanted and ship it to my door. And his prices are very reasonable, especially if you buy multiple pieces. Here's his sale thread........

i have to with slight ting to their heads but nothing too great. i do keep seeing what i think is mating or pairing behavior. they are swimming parallel to each and two are digging holes. and not the looking for food digs. they are simply picking up substrate and dumping to the side. i have never had these fish so there behavior is all new to me. i will try to post some video to show u guys!!!!

Hi. Nice geos.. In a 90 gallon I think I would just house them with a large school of dithers like tetras or something that would occupy the top areas of the tank and a bn. They are going to get big and a 4 ft footprint is gonna get crowded down the line. Also most of my cichlids really like the sand substrate so they can sift thru it. Don't know if you have thought about changing over. I changed most of my tanks over a while ago and have never regretted it. Love watching the sand sifting..
Good luck with your geos.. Sue
