Thanks Fisho43,

The Green Machine as I call them lol are kept in a species only standard 5 Ft tank. The water parameters I have played around with a lot but with PH 7.2 and GH between 4-6 ( very soft) Temp 28 is where I have struck it lucky. So now I have a dedicated rack just for Geo's. The second 5 Ft house the Steindachneri (Red Hump) which they are also thriving and breeding in these conditions also. The tanks are bare bottoms with no substrate and holy rock and driftwood decorate the tanks. In the group of 5, The 3 females average size around 140mm and the 2 males between 160-165mm. My water changes are a bit over the top:) I do a 15% water change every second day with a 50% once a week as these buggers like fresh water. And lastly once a week I like to feed a little blood worm.

Thats everything I do for the Geo's. It might not work for everyone but it's working for me.

Hope it helps Fisho
