I know some might give you a hard time about changing from tropheus to geos....

But honestly, I have always like geos. They look really good when they get the long flowing fins!

If I wasn't into just tropheus and petros....it would be geos man.

I like Geos a lot too they are better than Trophs

[Nickintex]

I keep a few geos myself.

CAREFUL! Badmouthing trophs will get you in hot water! Lets just say you like geos more.

ya, but there are tons of altifron varients available...go to xtreme fish and pets, they have the best selection of geos.

I know I wasn't the Mark you asked but back when I kept geos they were constantly sifting the substrate looking for food. I think they'd uproot your plants pretty regularly.

I have one geo in my 90g with a few plants in my 90g tank, and they don't bother them. Make sure the plants are the kind with large root systems or anchor them down well.

I think the biggest problem is the substrate. Geos really need sand. While you can grow plants in sand, it isn't ideal, and it will limit the variety of plants you can plant.

I would not put a geo in a true "planted tank" with eco-complete or similar substrate. It's just not fair to them. They want to sift the sand through their gills which they can't do without a sandy substrate.
