funny you ask that I just picked up 4 from the group order hoping for a pair although I don't expect anything for at least a few months.

Nice, I just missed the previous order and wasn't even thinking about them then. Don't really see them around to much, that i know of and it's even harder i'm finding out to locate someone who actually keeps them here in Mi. or more so breeds them.

Well I should soon.  There really doesn't seem to be many geo breeders around here not that many keepers either.

I currently have 10 different geo species mostly in small groups.

That's awesome.  I've never kept them, but would like to make one of my 135g tanks, into SA's. Still working on what to house with the Balzani's though.

I have 8 Balzani  growing out that I bought in October.  It will be awhile before I have fry, as they get larger I may reduce the group size.  I will let you know.
I also have a group of 10 Red Head Tapajos.  They have breed a couple of times, but my timing has been off to save the fry.

Lastly have some small Red Hump that I picked up the auction (impulse buy).

I did see those on aqua bid and i emailed back and forth a couple times, unfortunately due to our awesome and ever changing Michigan weather he will not ship until lows are above freezing, and I'm not at a point where i have to have them NOW, I'm still changing the tank over that i want to put them in. I would rather pick some up from somebody local if possible. And that would be great jkeeler. Thanks.
