I am really enjoying your pictures of your wonderful tank of fish! Thanks so much for posting them and I especially like the pic of the babies with the parent! That is some tank you have!

Thank you. I was quite surprised to see the unexpected guest...I have them separated at the moment and they are doing quite well. Soon as they get to a nice decent size I can give a few away to those interested.

Yo yo whats up J... Tank is looking Sexy as ever

Since my pair of redheads spawned, my Altifron and Winemilliri decided to do the same. Laid eggs last night... here's a few pictures of the pair doing their thing..

Very nice Joey. You make it hard for me to sell my Geos, seeing how yours are breeding so well for you

Nice update!

Keep up the good work, and oh yeah. I have some special fish for you!

Thanks,
John

LOL.. John, if anything this should make it easier for people to buy your Geo's.... If I can get these guys to breed anyone can...haha...

I'm excited... I can't wait... your making me loose sleep at night.

It's great to see the fish so happy! Nice job! What size tank? I may have missed it somewhere. That 3D background is perfect for what you have created.

I made a few changes to the tank. Kept only 4 Geophagus specie. My Winemilliri, Altifron and Orangeheads. In addition to my Altums. I sold my pair of Panda's (UARU Fernandezyepezi's) because they were getting too aggressive with my Geo's. When I saw they were eying my Discus, they had to go. I also added a few more wilds I picked up from John (Snook). I'm looking to add a few plants (some low light) to complete the set up.

I shot a video of my tank which I wanted to share. Make sure the HD is on for best quality.

Thanks. I really love the Altums myself. They add a great presence to the tank. I had wanted to keep a few of the Albino's however am really considering just doing an all wild tank. So I'll probably end up going that route.

where did you get altums

where did you get altums

Picked them up from a local hobbyist.

great photography skills. how big is this tank? i'm assuming 200g+? well at least i'm hoping with such a huge bio-load. Great video btw. your tank looks super clean, almost Eddie tank clean :-)

Wow! Great fish and the tank. How big is it and how often do you do your water changes? Very nice!

Thanks guys. It's only a 180. I do water changes on Friday's 50% and on Monday 50%. Reason being is that I feed once during the weekdays (M-F) during the evening when I get home from work and on weekends at least 2-3 times the course of the day. I refill straight out my tap and ensure the temperature is pretty balance. I then add Tetra water conditioner. I'm not interested in breeding or anything just want to enjoy my fish. However, my Geo's continuously breed in my tank even without me putting in any effort.
