My Gao's dig up every plant in the tank. They move sand around to their own liking.

No plants dug up yet, but the rocks are always covered with sand

That's cool! Acara's are very pretty.
How are the Tapajo's doing? Have they dug up everything in the tank?

The tapajos are great, very entertaining to watch especially around feeding time.

Very cool man. They like your water!

No, I haven't looked into severums so far, but that's really cool! They get along well with the acaras? I'm afraid the fire mouths will eat any fry that appear.

before acara babies, they paid each other no mind. now the severum just lurk above the acara's waiting for them to slip and sneak in. the acara's have been great parents, been real fun to watch them both take turns protecting the young.

I like to follow this post because I also recently got a 100g and have been figuring out what to stock it with. Now I have 2 fire mouths, 2 electric blue acaras, 4 albino corys, and a rubber lip pleco.

I wanted to get a few firemouths, but i think im set. Have you considered severum?

Caught my red severum lip locking yesterday, and today i have a small group of electric blue acara fry swimming around[/URL]

Looks like it might be some sort of swim bladder issue. Check your parameters and temps. With it only affecting a solitary tetra I imagine its not endemic to the tank and not contagious. Could be a long list of issues, but I'd simply wait and watch. Might make it or might not, just depends. I just always check all parameters when anything acts funny just in case.

guys would you watch this video and tell me what's wrong with the tetra?

I keep Big Angels with Big Geo's and Big Severum. My Angels are every happy fish.

Makes sense. If they are all grown, then the activity level would be very similar between them and angels could be with those severums and geos. I just never tried it but I will now.

Would angels fit ok with my tank inhabitants?

Severums and geos are too big and too active to house angels with them. They might or might not pick on the angels but they will make the angels uncomfortable with their activity level.
