I went to go feed them today , and for some stupid reason they thought they would fight over the same piece of shrimp ..

L273 vs L25 both 11-12"

and were off!!!

and its over, hmm wounder who won this time.. :yes:

Scarlet just gave up and went to the other side where the other pieces of shrimp was.

More then likely it is aggression but with the scarlet being so submissive i cannot rule out courting.

i have a long list of spawning plans in the near future i will be happy to document as i go along, and no not these two together but each of there own variant

According to the EXIF (EXtended Information Format) that goes with the picture:
Canon Digital Rebel
50mm/1.8 lens.
1/60 shutter
f/2.8

Stunning fish and photos. I have to limit myself to plecos 5 or less inches long but there's no denying the appeal of beatiful giants like yours.

Apistomaster, I have to limit the size of my Loricariids also...Those are some amazing looking fish, great pics too. The Geos look great also (in the little bits you can see

), how many species are in the tank?

Shaun,
Isn't it a bummer that there are so many fish to keep and never enough space and money to have it all.
I could use a dozen 240 gal tanks for a start. I get bored sometimes with all my discus. I was in Seattle last weekend wishing for an Australian arowana just because I miss having a garbage gut fish around. I did score two Monocirrhus Leaf fish as smaller garbage diposers.

Joefish · Post by **Joefish** » 14 Jul 2006, 15:53

Thanks guys!

Here is the list in the tank thus far

L25 12-13"
L25 6"
L273 gold 12"
L273 black 7-8"
L24 6-7"
LDA07 7"
L97 @4-5"
L204 4"

as for Geo's

4 Geophagus Altifrons
6 Geophagus Tapajos OH's
