I only have two surinamesis in my tank. might be both same sex i am not sure. Are elongated fins the easiest way to tell? One has very long and one markedly shorter.
I dont know if they would breed anyway if they are a male and female. both their tails are ripped up, so someone in their tank is being a jerk.Last edited by morpheus; 04-24-2014, 02:04 PM.

tankmates are a male black convict, a 6-inch or so "assorted peacock cichlid" - never found out what he is really, a jewel cichlid, two silver dollars, and a common black pleco. tank size is 56 gal. the surinamesis and pleco are the only ones with torn fins.
the jewel essentially just stays in a tree and only comes out to eat. i dont think that one is the problem. the silver dollars arent aggressive either, so that leaves the convict and the peacock.
i have tried to find a trade partner for the convict, peacock and jewel without success. all LFS were just saying you can donate and we give you nothing. the peacock and black convict used to be in my 75 with mbunas and a JD, but were getting constantly chased and beaten. i had to move them or let them die.
if i got rid of the suspected problem pair i think the geos would heal up. or i was thinking of adding in a faster schooling type fish like roseline sharks to distract them, but still get along fine with the geos.

yes i would prefer a tank for just them, but i dont have room right now for another tank that size. my thoughts are if they breed great. otherwise they are just nice looking fish for show. hopefully i can find a home for the trouble makers someday.
