WOW!!! Geophagus winemilleri
« on: April 29, 2015, 09:32:34 PM »
So I brought in ten of these fish after seeing pics on the internet of this specie of Geophagus.
They came in a little smaller than I expected but even at their size they have some nice rose tones.
I'll take some pics later after they settle in their new tank.
I had plans to keep a couple pairs but after seeing them even at this size, I'm keeping them all until they all mature enough to see what ratio I ended up with. If there are extra males I'll be selling those off.
I plan to use this thread to document their growth.

Definitely an awesome species.   Be careful,  I've heard horror stories about them dying off when young.
