New Geophagus Setup

[RonBurgundy]

I thought I would share their new home. It's a 115 gallon. Please excuse the background and lack of decor. My driftwood is soaking in the garage. I used to have my africans in this tank and the africans got the new 135 in the living room. I need to add to the stock list but it seems no one in southern cal. is carrying many Geos. Enjoy the picks and feel free to comment or suggest.

115 gallon (60x18x25)
2 x Rena XP3
2 x Hagen powerglow

2 x Geo. surinamensis (probably not true surnimensis)
3 x Geo Altifrons (not sure of varient)
2 x Geo Tapajos Orange head (looking for 3 more)
1 x Satanoperca jurupari
4 x Puntius Denisonii (Rosaline sharks)

That is sweet if you were closer id give you mine (where you at in Cali actually). He is doing fine with the cichlids but i think he would be much happier in there.

I'm actually in the city of Orange. BTW...how's your new 90 gal. coming along? I think that was the "last" tank you were working on?

Hi Ron... Off to a good start... Hummmm somebody in there is not a geo and not a rosaline shark... is he/she staying? Yes definitely add to the orangeheads.. they love being in a group. I know someone in Cali was selling babies really cheap but can't remember where I saw it... On one of the forums marketplaces... maybe simplydiscus.. I'll let you know if I find it..
Meanwhile good luck with these guys and more pics as the tank progresses please... Sue

Hi Sue! That would be the "town marshal" or as my wife has named he/she Goldie. The Sev. keeps order in the tank but will most likely be given to a friend when I find 3 Rotkeil sevs. to finish this tank off along with the other 3 orange heads.

Nice setup! Looking forward to future updates.

So you'll eventually have 10 Geos, 1 satanoperca, 3 rotties and 4 roselines....might be a bit too much for the tank but you won't have to worry about it for a while.

Thanks! I agree, that stock will be heavy when they mature. That's why I can hopefully talk my friend into upgrading his 240 gal 8 footer to a bigger tank so I can buy his.
