[bigbird]

[scatz]

very nice mate, geo's do seem to compliment pseuda's well, perfect tank mates imo.
no idea on the mystery one though, sorry

 

[Hypanaddict]

Fantastic pics of the Geo mate and congrats on the spawning :thumbup:

 

[ryannxs]

thanks bri, that fish is causing arguments on a cichlid forum, but no closer to an id.
and thanks hypan addict, feel free in a couple of months to come bag your self some baby geos foc to pp members (spreading the love!)

 

[kevaldo]

After seeing your Geo's mate you inspired me to get some for my tank. I've now got 6 tapajos 2's an 5 Abalios

 

[SilverDub]

Beautiful pics Ryan, I've always been a big fan Geo's. I've had a few sub adult specimen but have never had a big enough tank to do them justice.

Kev, good to see upping the species count, they will look and behave fantastically in your huge tank mate.

 

[kevaldo]

Funny u should say that Alan, since I've put the others in it's given the tapajos 2's more confidence to venture out. Got my thinking cap on now to see what mid/top level fish to put in now as u seen thunder stays pretty low.

 

[SilverDub]

* Thunder is a Lince Cat by the way - woof!

Upper level fish for me would be Festivums, Heros, Angels, or could go for characins, Myleus, Metynis, Triportheus and for good measure a shoal of small tetras for that really natural look. They will be to small for Thunder to hunt, you might lose a few to the Geo's but it would look the dogs dangleys......

 

[ryannxs]

thanks guys, geos and pseudas defo the way to go! also kev that L25 you got on order is amazing!

 

[IanB]

It's a bit of a shame the high price that Pseuda's command at the moment, makes them out of reach to many .. but I have my 114 and he's great (all my fish are male by default unless identified as female).. really looking forward to adding some Geo's.. and hopefully a 190 (or 027 - dream on..lol) too, just a littlun to grow on though.

 

[kevaldo]

Yeah I was thinking about adding 8-10 large Angel's of some sort, only problem with something small like tetras is the gaps in the wier are 10-12mm wide, they'd be gone in no time.

Think I'll keep an eye out for a couple of big normal cheap Angel's an see how thunder gets on with them, if all goes well then I'll get a group of something nice.

Yeah Ryan can't wait to get a adult pair of L25

Kev

 

[SilverDub]

Yuck cheap normal Angels. Not to bad as Lince food.
I've got 16 wild rio nanay scalares in my tank and i have grown very fond of them, there just starting to show some stunning colours.

Wildwoods had 5 very unusual Metynis/Myleus - I have no idea what they are where they are from but the are very nice and have me tempted. If you fancy them Im up at Rare next Thursday evening.

 

[matubula]

Im up at Rare next Thursday evening.

Rare Aquatics? Depending what time you're there I could come say hi :hi:

 

[SilverDub]

Yes Matt, would be nice to see you again. I'll be there hopefully about 5ish aparantly Jo stays open until 8 on Thursday. Got meetings in Telford on Friday.
