So far so good. Turned the lights on and everyone's still ok, even though they're always more aggressive with the lights on. I really hope I get another pair!

maybe some candles and smooth jazz?

Some fishes naturally live under a state of constant aggression.

Yeah, and geos are one of 'em. From what I read though, they do settle out a little bit. I'm bout to upload a vid of them dukin' it out with the new guy!

[aquabee]

Here they are this morning. I think he's trying to tell her he likes her!

Nice... Not acting to aggressive...

Nah. They do fine with at least 5 of 'em and some dither to distract them from each other. When I had 3 (what I think were 2 males and a female) in there by themselves and no dither, they nearly murdered each other, gashes and stuff. But I like watching 'em play when there's a lot cuz I'm not worried they're actually gonna harm each other. The silver dollars are the **perfect** dither for 'em too, and they school really nicely.

They are awesome! Everything in there looks great.

Thanks Jim! Even the fake plants??

Well, at least the water is less brown after a tiny lil water change I did yesterday. Slowly gonna dilute out the copper and ich attack, then add the Purigen back in.

I don't mind fake plants as long as they aren't hot pink or un natural looking.

I found a brand called "Vibran-sea" on amazon.com that I think I might order for the back wall. The geos just keep pulling out the val. They make like 18" tall plants, silk. We'll see how they look.

Boyant val and sand substrate dont go well together even if you weight it down. Damn fish messing up a nice scape.

[aquabee]

Actually the vals did better than I thought. They were very easy to plant in the sand. The geos would literally yank em out from the base. In the areas where they couldn't reach the base of the vals, they actually stayed planted!

females moving in and redecorating lol

Wow, this tank is SEXY! :)

O, if I only had more tanks.

So the one Geo is back with Truong?

Nice video Bee. I concur with Thai on this: wish I had more tanks
