Prob not spawning, just give them a few days. If it gets too bad try moving some stuff around and they might settle down.
re-landscaped 150g tank and geo question
- Thread starter dasani
- Start date
Do red heads mate for life? This is the first spawn, and it seems like the 1 geo is protecting the eggs from everyone including it's mate.
EGGS!
not sure if this is the male or female defending
the partner, maybe better pic to tell if male or female?

Congrats ^^ Totally sounded like spawning behaviour, I would guess the bottom one is the male ._.
Too bad about the eggs but give them some time it may take them a few trys to get it right. I'm growing out a group of 6 also. Mine are about 2-2.5" and chase each other all the time, nothing serious though but they aren't spawing either. I keep mine with Angles, Festavum, Metae, Krobia XO and a GT with no problems at all. Good Luck with them beautiful fish.
Just my $0.02 but dithers are pointless with most Geophagus species since the aggression is conspecific. Your keeping a good numberin the group and the chasing as Peter mentioned is completely notmal.
