    Default Update on my overstocked Geophagus tank

    Hey guys just wanted to share my heavily stocked Geophagus community. There are 5 different species of Geos in here and 2 severums. Also a few of them have paired up. These guys are growing fast. Sizes ranging from 2"-7". Majority of these guys I picked up 1-2 months ago at 2" and most of them have reached near 4". I feed them twice a day with pellets and bloodworms. There colors are really coming out. I'm running 2 x ac110's and 1 fluval G6 on this tank. I do 35-40% wc's twice a week on this tank.











    7" Male Suranimensis posing







    This male suranimensis has a born defected missing gill on the other side. I adopted it from a friend's fish store cuz nobody wanted it. Felt bad for it as he was all alone.







    More male surs








    a pair of Leus







    The Orange head clan and others. "See ya next time"

    Thanks. I'm trading a few of the orange heads to a friend for some Heckellis. We're just growing them out more so we could sex both of them easier. Also video coming up shortly. Just uploading it on youtube at the moment.

    How do you like the G6? I'm really thinking of getting one to try out. They look real easy to clean.

    I love it. It's the easiest canister to clean by far out of all the canisters I've experienced with. You don't have to fully take it apart to clean. Takes 1-2 minutes to maintenance it.

    That's a CLEANNNNNNNNNN tank...

    It must be a newer setup! I like the fact it's so clean and simple. Keeps the focus on the fish. I like the centerpiece you have.
