Seriously...Geophagus babies are absolutely the cutest things in the fish world. I just got a whole big group of baby Geophagus tapajos today. They've been in their temp. tank for about half an hour and are already hard at work doing what Geos do - "earth eat" ;)










And one of my oh-so-pretty Ram girlie


Excuse the dirty spot on the glass, guess I didn't clean it all that well lol.

LOL well the picture would be that much better if there was no big patch of algae to distract you :p

Thanks everyone. There's about 18 of them I think, lol, plus three other eartheater babies in the same tank...it's very, very busy and active at the moment, ha.

Oh, ok...I thought the males were the prettier of the 2...I thought that was how you tell the sexes apart...now I'm wondering how to tell M/F apart when I get some...LOL!

They are Tapajos - Geophagus sp. "Tapajos Orange Head".

Of course the tank will be upgraded - Geos can't be kept in a 33gal tank! It's simply a holding tank for a week or two until I can get their growout tank set up. The other fish in this tank are three Steiny babies, three rams, and a breeding pair of Angels. The tank is the angels and the rams and the Geos were thrown in temporarily.
