Lol good lucky planting them in there... that tank is pretty deep from what I remember.

Attach ferns to the driftwood . . . and mount pots 1/2 way up for the swords.

Yeah, I'll mostly be attaching to driftwood/manzanita and such. It was surprisingly not that hard to plant certain plants despite the height. The canopy comes off and then I stand on a chair. Vals were easy to put into the dense sand bed but ferns were more difficult. Anyway the geos dig a lot so I'll have to attach the roots to either rocks or wood or have em in pots.

Thanks! The geos are growing well, some faster than others. I'm interested to see when they might start pairing off.

Great looking tank bee. I always liked the emperor and von rios. the von rios always are great schooling fish to add color. i like how in vid 2 the geo is essentially giving the look of "leave me alone newbies"...love the colors

How old are they Bee?
I just pickedup a group of Tapajos from Hungvanvo. They are about the size of my brisiliensis fry. But the Red and Blue is going to look great together.

Oh awesome! I didn't know he had tapajos as well. Post pics/vids soon! :)
It seems these guys are about 8-10 months old, but Juan/beto would know better.

Thanks Juan. The tapajos are really hardy. I'm also enjoying them a lot! How are your remaining ones doing?

Ah ok. I'm still unable to tell gender on mine, except that the 3 largest are perhaps male.

Added some beautifully colored rummy noses that I got from C&R (to help them empty a tank!) and lost 2 today while draining the tank. They got into the python and landed in the sink and then my kitten squealed at me to see. Got em back in the tank still floppin around but only one lived. :( So now I have 7. Sold the spotted silver dollars and now trying to get rid of the 2 red hooks so I can finally add nice lighting and some large swords! Otherwise, everyone is doing well... Even the Von Rio that got its tail nipped off by an emperor. :)
