    Default Tank Mates with Geophagus

    Hello, what are some good inexpensive (Less then $20 for school of 6?) mid or top level fish that go together well with Geophagus? Looking for some fish to fill the void of the top of the tank

    Thanks!

    (I don't mind getting them small and growing them out)

    Heh, thanks for the offer Charles I've seen that they are great for Geopahgus tank mates but I'm looking for something on the cheaper side...don't have much money to spare on fish.

    Those are pretty cool tetras! Thanks for the link. Boy, they sure don't look like that in real life, in the places I've seen them.

    Those tetras are nice :0! But he says he had to remove them because they were getting eaten...I would say nothing under 2 inchs is garunteed to not get eaten.

    Heh, I'm sure my wallet, parents, and my fish would not be to happy with those in the house

    Depending on your tank size I have

    Juvenile Uarus 2" - 3" that will fill out the middle of the tank nicely when they grow up.
    $7 each or $25/5

    True Parrots (Hoplarchus psittacus) 3"
    $10 each

    Thanks for the offer, but I've decided to save the money on adding stock to my main tank, since I have 3 more surinamensis and a hecklii going in when they get bigger~

    I guess, clsoe this thread or we can use it to discuss Geos

    If you ever rethink it, I would try congos. Dont bother with the females, as they are dull but a school of like 10 fully grown males looks amazing.
