Re: 180g Geophagus planted tank UPDATE
Awesome tank and a great way of keeping these sand-sifters with plants. How many species have you got in there? (Not counting the cories!)

Re: 180g Geophagus planted tank UPDATE
Ed, thanks. There are quite a bit of fish in that tank. I do photography so I get one-ofs all the time, and many of them make it into the tank. I wont name those, just the fish I actually got FOR the tank.
- 2x Adult Geophagus Altifrons both male
- 4x Juvi Geophagus Altifrons/Tapajos II (not sure, some of each, I think) 2male 2 female
- 5x Gymnogeophagus meridionalis (the gold ones) 2 males 3 females
- 2x Santoperca Daemon, 1male 1 female
- 1x Santoperca Jurupari, unknown sex
- 1x unknown Geo, female. Had the male but got rid of him, was a PITA.
- 10 or so Adult Columbian Tetras
- 15 or so various Corydoras
- 5-6 Dianema catfish, some of each of Urostriatum and Longibarbis
- 2 SAEs

Re: 180g Geophagus planted tank UPDATE
Thanks Paradise. I especially love the Gymnos. Will definitely have to keep an eye out for them. Are they a particular locality of meridionalis? I've never seen any photos of them looking so gold! Lovely!

According to my friend, who knows about these more, the WC parents were originally collected by Stun Sung et. al. from Urauay.

Sebas, sorry about the misspell, I copied that line from the other guy's post to me and did not even check if it was right. That is awful.

Do not worry for that, Uruguay is not a well-known country.
