Peaceful SA Community Stock?
- Thread starter Aqualoon
- Start date
I keep 5 red head Geos (now a pair and three others) in a 110 gallon tank with a 5" threadfin acara, three Krobia xinguensis, and some bleeding heart tetras. The Geos show little in the way of aggression, apart from a chase now and then. That includes when they are laying eggs. They defend the area around the spawning site, but don't go overboard in aggression. However, they've always eaten the eggs, so I don't know how they'd be with fry. Anyway, I find them quite congenial and would be fine to mix with the more peaceful SA cichlids (Laetacara, threadfin acara, Krobia, Cichlasoma, Satanoperca, Heros, Uaru etc). Stay away from central Americans, festae, pike cichlids, G. brasiliensis. Chanchitos can be pretty feisty, and probably thrive better at cooler temperatures than red heads.
