Here are a couple of my pairs as well as a spawn from last night. The eggs are usually gone in minutes but this time they found an out of the way spot on the background so who knows. The pups eat them quickly, but if they are still there when I get home, I'll siphon them out to raise another group.

Orange heads are great fish. My group spawns like clockwork and are great to have around.

Looks wonderful. I know you gave a huge tank but what size is it exactly
Are your they aggressive?

These are in a 250 gallon (6x3) grow out tank. My situation is unique and isn't the example of what is required for the average orange head setup.

They aren't aggressive or I wouldn't have them with ray pups. That's relative though as some would consider them aggressive in comparison to biotodoma, as an example. They are tough is a better way to put it

Well that's great.
Glad you loving them
I'm thinking about getting 4 for my 75G
Do you think this would be ok?
That's the biggest tank

I think you can keep a group of 4 in a 75 but it is on the small side in my opinion. When they reach full size you should try and get a larger tankThe male vs female ratio will play heavily into how well it works for you. Lots of males will just beat on each other and require more tank space.

I'm the wrong guy to ask on the smaller tank sizes though. I have no use for anything under 6x2 so I'm biased and going off of memory

 

[Ilovefishes24]

Yea. I have no plans of getting a larger tank right now.
4 geos in a 75 don't seem like much.
Maybe 1 male. 3 females.
Would you know anybody else that have redheads on this forum?
Or maybe someone that's good at stocking

Jeff Rapps (Tangled Up In Cichlids) usually has them. Have a look through the stock lists on the vendor forums and see what's out there.
