Natural Style Geo Tank

Great looking scape. Like the atabapo pike there.

Thanks, Ron!

That's a lot of tank! Super cool. Stunning pics.

Thank you, Joel!

Looks peaceful. How long has it been setup?
I like the simplicity

Thank you! I've grown out the altifrons since they were 1/2". The tank has been setup (post remodel) for 5 months. Very happy with it so far

Damn. That must have taken a while.
What is your largest now? And that pike.....mmmmmm......
Can you show us your filtration please.

Can you show us your filtration please.

The largest is right at 8” not including the caudal filaments/streamers. There are at least two breeding pairs in the group. I intend to eventually cut back to only one male and as many females remain in the group.

Filtration is pretty straight forward. An acrylic 70 gallon sump, 2 cubic feet of K1 micro, Alita AL80 air pump, Laguna /2900 pump.

I made my own DIY shadow style overflow so I could run a big pump if wanted and not lose floor space.

Great looking fish and the set-ups are simple but
perfect for the fish keeping.


My geophagus tank needs some reworking. As they are getting larger all my wood and plants are taking up too much space.

That turned out great. Your filtration skills are freaking great

Do you have any plans for stocking in your black water tank?
Would be amazing to include a large shoal of a black-water tetras like Stanzzzz7 ( I think they are White Fin Tetras?) has in his South American tank.
