    Thanks Al, i like both but that one really caught my eye! I will have to do some research on them. If i am not mistaken i think they get bigger though right? I have been really contemplating adding a few to my display but then you got the whole plant thing and them digging up the substrate . But i keep looking back at your pics and they are really nice...all of them! I may just have to set up another tank....LOL

    Altifrons and abalios (they're very similar in appearance and often get confused) both get considerably larger than orangeheads. Geos do best in groups like discus so you'd probably want a 75 - 90 gallon tank for a small group. I have some G. dicrozoster in my 150 with severums and Krobia and it's already looking busy. They're only 3 - 4" and have a considerable amount of growing to do!

    Got 6 tapajos from Al yesterday. Al was nice enough to get the fish for me at a nearby meeting he was attending. I was expecting much smaller fish, these guys are quite big. Some appear to be getting close to breeding.

    It was practically a steal for me. Thanks Al. Need to visit your fishroom next

    Adrian, Seeing on how you have their siblings, I'm guessing yours should start to spawn soon too!
