Doesn't the Geo require different water parameters?

You know I did not even ask that question, when I was at the Oyers all I said is what else do you have that would go with Peacocks and Haps and Betty suggested the Geo's so I bought them...

Someone - Please let me know if I made a mistake...

Its only a mistake if it dies.   



They are south american... which is a lower pH and softer water.

Betty told me the species 44 were ok with peacocks.  A little rowdy for the peacocks.

In my experience if you are asking someone about mixing a fish you are about to buy from them 8 times out of 10 they will tell you yes just to get the sale. Not bashing anyone so don't take it that way. Its better to go into it know about what you want then having a crap shoot.

So far the Geo's are doing great !   It been almost 3 months since I set up the 180 tank and damn if I'm not allready getting the itch to add more tanks. What is wrong with me !  I would have thought a 180 would have satisfied my thurst...

When it comes to water parameters.. the Geo will be fine. That's why all of the fish I have I simply use tap water. I keep it simple. It just makes it easier on the next person in line that ends up with some of my fish..

Now, don't get me wrong I understand that certain fish "require" certain water conditions so you need to take that into consideration. I have kept Geos with just about anything, and just short of the rowdiest of the SAs, CAs, and Africans, they have done very well..

After seeing your tank I think I will go ahead and add a Frontosa. I have been thinking of one with my peacocks and haps and after seeing it in yours I am giving it a try. Nice tank btw

Yeah he is doing real well, but I have been warned by some people that Fronts can get a mean streak in them, so I have been trying to keep him happy and not let him go too long without a feeding.  Thank you.

Oh BTW - I just moved more fish into the 180 from by two grow out 55 tanks.  My plan is working out nicely,  buy small, grow out in (2) separate 55's and move to the 180 when ready. I moved a very nice Aulonocara stuartgrandi Regal Blue, Protomelas Haplochromis Ovatus, Cynotilapia Afra White Top..
