  • solution to aggressive geos?

    the geos i have in my 90g are 3 altifrons and 1 brasillienes...all about 3.5"...the one brasillienes picks on the altifrons and has frayed up their fins a little....would adding another brasillienes fix my problem? or should i remove him? or is this fine as it is? i was told the brasillienes is a male

    thats what i was afraid of, you need to get rid of the brasiliensis, bring him to me.

    i will put him in my aunts geo tank.
    shes got a 120g 4x2x2 with large eartheaters, he will do better in there.

    brasiliensis are notoriously aggro.
    and seeing as hes a male, hes just gunna get worse.

    bring him to me, i will give him a good home.

        i would stick with geos only, but steer clear of geo brasilinsis, geo bahia red, geo stiendachneri, geo neive, geo crassiliabris, and all gymnogeophagus, as they are more aggressive.

        yes, a jurupari would be fine, although the fish labeled as jurupari at extreme are actually satanoperca lecousticta, and not true jurupari.

        you can tell the lecous from the juru by the intense spangling and irredescent scales of the lecous, jurus will have very very little spang;es if any, and will be more olive green in color.

        i would get a lecousticta, a heckelli, aka thread finned acara, ultimate has nice wc subadults.

        and a rio branco, which is the large geos labeled as surinamensis at extreme fish.

          with that amount you will be set, i wouldnt add anything else, and i personally wouldnt add any non geo cichlids, becuase when geos are kept in a tank with nothing but other geos, they show their natural behaviors and are much mroe calm and colorful.

                    the heckilli has a completely different snout shape than the others.... he kinda just sits on the bottom...all the others dig through the sand like crazy...i think i want one more jurupari and a heckilli
