Take a look thru this link: http/www.amazoncichlids.com/Pages/GeophagusSpecies.html

I used to have geophagus surinamensis (sp?) with sevs and acaras, absolutely no problems with them at all, lovely fish.

brilliant thanks minxy i will take a look

have looked into geophagus species minxy i rekon my substrate would be a bit harsh for an eartheater im using 5mm dorset pea gravel atm

 

[minxfishy]

Hmmm they do like to sift thru it and spit it out again, had mine with fine black gravel, they used to keep it turned over pretty well.

I wouldnt know what to suggest then, maybe someone who knows more about them could give an opinion on that.

if you get a larger geo then you shouldnt have any problems iv seen then sift through dorset gravel didnt seem too bad festivums is a good option but they dont really appeal to me they arent the livliest of cichlids

a couple of Uaru may be an option, again they should work well with the Angels and Severum.
I've been thinking about getting some for a while now to go with my Nicaraguence, Severum and Geophagus, but now I have had to put that idea on hold until I can source a bigger tank.

A single Male Sajica would also look quite stunning IMO or a Nicaragua Cichlid for that matter

thats put a cat among the pigeons davo i could quite happily have all those. especialy the male sajica and nicaraurense. hmmm maybe i should get onto the missus for a 200g tank
