Cicadalady Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) My fully-grown Geophagus Tapajos orange heads (7 years old) are slowly picking off my rummynose tetras. The rummynoses were introduced a couple of weeks ago and look fantastic in the tank but their numbers are dwindling as the Geophagus see them as targets/dessert. The tank is ‘scaped with sand substrate, driftwood and hardy plants (Anubias’s, Java Fern, Anacharis, etc.) What’s another shoaling/schooling fish (preferably of South American origin) that would be safe from my Geos?

Colu Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) You want to go with a bigger species of tetras such as the buenos Aires tetras they get about 3in Edited September 29, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K McZongo Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Emperor tetras? Or you can get a group of Angels assuming your tank is big enough. Bottom shoalers, maybe a few brochis or other larger Cory's. Geo/discus tanks always look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
