I am either going to get a 4' 75g or 90g with a white sand bottom. I am wondering how many geo's i could put in there with 1 chocolate cichlid and 1 severum?
The geo's would be:
4 red head tapajos
2 Altifrons
2 abalios
2 dicrozoster

This is just a suggestion, so i can minus some or add some or change the stocking a bit. Would that work with a chocolate and a severum?
Any suggestions would great appreciated
 
i figured but i was just putting everything out there. so only 1 chocolate, 1 severum, 4 geo red head tapajos. is that all? i am more than likely getting a 90g. or could i minus the severums since i have 3 in another tank and add two abalios
 
So my options are for a 90g are:
option 1:
1 Chocolate cichlid
3 red head tapajos
2 abalios
1 dicrozoster

option 2:
1 severum
1 chocolate
4 red head tapajos

I am looking for a mainly a geo tank but would like a top water cichlid to go along with them. Any other options?
 
IME a group of Geos of the same species look a lot better than a mixed stock, which can be distracting. They might also quarrel...

I'd go with 6 orangeheads, a severum and a chocolate in a 90. G. abalios and G. altifrons may eventually be too big for an 18" wide tank.

^i agree and the red head tapajos get to 8".
 
i guess i was told the wrong thing by a few people. They told me that red heads only got 6" and i even did a little research which told me that. :irked:. what if i was to do that but add two dicrozoster instead of the severum
so that would be:
1 chocolate
6 red head tapajos
2 dicrozoster
 
i know that i didn't realize red heads got 8". SO would I be able to do:
1 chocolate
6 red heads
2 dicrozoster
the tank would be running an aquaclear 110 and a sponge filter.
