Hi guys, ive just started a Geo tank. At the moment i have 5 Orange heads , 4 heckliis and 2 Uarus. can people suggest some other good tanks mates for these guys ?

Hi Mate,

hope the OH's settled in well for you.

Are you thinking of other geo's? or other species?

A nice pleco would fit in well.

Cheers
Ben

just like to know on the topic .

do we heckliis in aus?

if so how much

and what age is mature for breeding.

i found most people overseas struggle breeding these so are they hard to breed?

sorry for all the question

Hy folks,

I have a chance to buy some Geophagus. Which are the best? Can some spiecies go with discus or not? I would buy wild caught from rio Negro.
How can I breed them?

Thank for your answers

Hi,

I have kept smal juvenile geo orange caps with large discus. No issues there at all. Discus were not wilds but domestic strains.


I currently have me older geos with large angels. They are both relatvily aggressive at feeding time but also leave each other alone.


If the discus are not larger / pre estabilished in your tank I think you will end up with issues such as stress in your discus.

good luck amd post pics soon
