[pinkdolphin_113]

i currently have 3 baby angelfish and was wondering if i could out 2 apistos, 2 rams, 2 fire mouth cichlids and 2 geophagus in the same tank. would this be alright or am i gonna end up with some sort of disaster?
thanks

I don't think there would be a problem as long as the their around the same size or the angels are bigger. I would take a little caution around the firemouths though.

What species of Geophagus?

Angels, rams and apisto's will work, firemouths could cause problems but they may not. The Geophagus depends totally on the species.

ahh well thats a relief i thought the firemouths did look a little aggressive but i've been reading about them and alot of people say they're mainly bluffers, but i'll have to wait and see.

the species of geo... i'm not too sure, i'll pop into my lfs and ask it's just i saw them a few weeks ago and didn't think much to them but for some reason i've just fancied new world cichlids lol what is the most common geo because it's most likely to be that

Well in my case, I often see Jurapari's.

But i don't know how it is there.

Jurapari are Satanoperca jurapari these days, not Geophagus jurapari.

I'm not that sure what the most common Geophagus is, depends where you are, Geophagus brasiliensis seem to be fairly common.
