I just could not resist and when one came into work I bought it. At the moment it is a juvenile and is in the 80 litre hexagon tank with two angels, two kribensis and a flying fox.

All are pretty independent fish and the tank is peaceful. So pretty. I am planting it with valleseria to one side and around the back, on a terrace. To the other side I have built terraces of rock for them. This large hexagon tank is perfect and now fully stocked I feel. (not to capacity - to the comfort of the fish). I amusing a u/g filter and a Shark II.

Any info on keeping the geophagus jurupari would be appreciated.

Really peaceful, I've found them to be really hardy, They love filtering gravel through their gills for food and they pretty much eat anything I give them. A really nice fish overall

They're one of my favorite fish. I've got 2. Not much that's really important to say about them, they'll eat anything, pretty adaptable and tough, like finer gravel.

To date all is true. I consider it to be a great addition to my tank. So subtly beautiful and you are right ........... seems to thrive on whatever it is feed.

*ghostly whispery voice in Goldie's head* Geophagus Surinamensis...Buy a Surinamensis...Two is even better....
