Monarch butterfly in my garden
 
 

Greeeat looking tank!

Give me 6 months to a year.. 

These are some of my guys. I have 3 setups. The 600 litre,the 300, and the 240. Mainly all central American cichlids with a few catfish and swordtails thrown in the mix. All up though I have a jack dempsey pair, a Cuban, convicts, tbars, a rogue blue acara, banjos cats, spotted Rapheal catfish, a Whiptail, and a few plecos. I tend to keep pretty quiet on forums these days whether it's this one or Facebook but would be good to see a few new posts for sure!

This is the video from when I first got them it's funny looking back at how small they were.
     
 

Yes I have. G. altifrons and G. steindachneri
I currently have some G. sp "Orange Head" that I hope will also breed.
They are quite easy to breed actually, just keep them in a properly sized tank with sand and treat them well and they will pair and breed happily when mature. Lots of info online on how to keep the different Geophagus species

A more accurate species name for these is Geophagus altifrons. So you should research that name.
Note that they do become rather large when adult (25cm+) so tank size and especially footprint size is important.
When mature they can become quite territorial toward other geos so have that in mind too.
Awesome fish!

The little 201's are 5 weeks old now and are starting to show a hint of their polkadots

Well after eating 6 batches of eggs the male finally managed to rear a handful. Things are looking up.

This thread is an inspiration!!

Perfect will do :-)

The only reason I am updating the main post rather than posting updates down here is so that if anyone new to the thread comes in they only have to read the one post rather than sift through scrolls of pages to put all the info together - will keep posting down here each day after all my updates for the day are in. I am still in utter shock I have got to day 6!! Woohooooo

Very interesting! Will follow this for sure. Thanks for sharing
