I added a Male Balzani and an Albino Heckeli....the Heckeli is a bit small but a looker. The Balzani seems taken with the female in tank. Both are pretty cool.
New geos to join the fray!

Nice pickup.
Is ther a full tank shot anywhere?
I’m thinking of doing a Geo tank in the future.

Here you go....looks a bit different today.....need to update. Not really a Geo tank. Eclectic stock mostly SA. I recently rescaped a bit. The massive Mangrove pc is home to 5 catfish. i only have 1/3 planted although I may invest in another plant light in the future. Adding a FX4 to the filtration this week which is currently just a single FX6.
One small issue to consider in the future.
Balzani come from southern Brazil where temps are cooler than than the northern S American areas near the equator.
Whereas heckelli are fine with water temps into the 80s.
Those constant temps can be stressful for balzani, and create conditions where disease or fungus can be problematic.
My balzani group came from Uruguay, so I never used heaters at all in their tanks, allowing room temps to fluctuate slightly, and seasonally .

I read that. Hopefully not going to be an issue. i will keep tank out of the 80s for sure.One small issue to consider in the future.
