albert_dao Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I must say, definitely one of the funnest fish to watch. I had this fish on several occassions prior, but never with sand until now. Busy things, within 30 seconds of being put into the tank, they started digging in the substrate. A far cry from the "greet the keeper" mid-water shoaling behavior they were pulling at the store. Now there's a couple hundred little divots in the sand where tiny mouths have been shovelling. It's been 15 minutes since I have turned off the lights, but there's still a bit of ambient light in the room and I can see them still at it. Hilarious! I'll take a video of them tommorow.

canucklehead Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have one 5" male and he is very entertaining, excavates around all the decor in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molino Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Very cool Those are fish I'd like to keep one day, they are amazing when matured. You'll have to keep us up to date with pictures :drool: edit: I just noticed it says "Red Hump Geophagus". Is that the same as the Red Headed Tapajos? (spelling?)

thefishdude Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Love to see some video of those guys.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert_dao Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Heh, I was trying to take a video, but... It always looks so crappy since they swarm to the front to greet me when I'm standing there instead of doing their normal behavior. I took some pics, but I'll have to resize them later.
