Rusty Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Ok, so i'm setting up a new tank (Thanks John) and where it is situated it's gonna get a bit of algae on my plants and i was wondering whether if i got some algae eating shrimp they would be compatible with geos, dwarfs and probably some bn. I've got a g. surinamensis and was thinking of getting some aragui, maybe a red hump, a rio and the dwarfs most likely rams. Cheers, Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddo Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 one word NO they would be food in about 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Dang, oh well just gonna have to get a couple of bn, maybe some siamese algae eaters. Cheers, Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japes Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Maybe Ottos, not sure how they go with the medium sized Geo's, I think Briztoon keeps them though I don't think they're in a different tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yeah, Japes is right. I have 10 otocinclus in my 6footer with my G. araguaia orange heads and dwarf SA cichlids. Never had any issues with the geos trying to eat them. However, I would not try otos with the larger surinamensis, altifrons or rio brancos. Like most cichlids, if it fits in thier mouth, they'll try and eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
