Multiple Geophagus

[kevinjames]

After moving on my discus at the weekend my tank is looking seriously dull. It's a 5 x 2 x 2 foot 500 litre aquarium and I already have 3 geophagus tapajos and 1 unknown geo. I'd like to keep a few different types, I'll stick with the smaller eartheaters so how many and which types will go well. I currently have a few l-numbers and about 20 corydoras sterbai. I'm not too fussed on keeping it region specific so any suggestions welcomed.

You are best off keeping them in groups rather than singletons, I would go for at least 4 of each species. In a 500 liter tank I would look at 2 species Tapajo are one of the smaller species so I would stick with that, Pindare or Winemilleri are also smaller species so could be worth a look. If you wanted to add an other Geo type in there I would go for cupids in a group of about 6, would look nice I think
