clarkey Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm in the process of setting up an 8x2x2 and I am wondering what are good non aggressive Americans? I've got a colony of 11 Geophagus Altifrons coming and didn't know what else I should put in with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tschumy Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Rams would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodapwnsasmurf Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Most Geos with the exception of Brasiliensis are pretty placid, you could go with some Red humps or as Chris said, Rams. Also Keyhole Cichlids and Bolivian Butterflies. Even Angelfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 bolivian butterflys Also I am a fan of angels, I know people constantly have drama with....... but I like them with geos. another good one is severums, festivums or rainbows. the festi will often go high in the tank, so that can be cool. As with everything, keep a close eye on them if 2 look like they have paired up as with all cichlids........ that means the rules have changed.

Chrisfits Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Chocolates or uaru might work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 If the altifrons are up and runnning chocolates are a good choice , festivums use the upper level of the tank or any other geo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

63off Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Why would you want an American tank if you want non-aggressive? Get some marble fens and be done with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azedenkae Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Rainbow Cichlid, Uaru, Chocolate, Blue Eyeds, Poor Man's Tropheus. Pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Rainbow Cichlid, Uaru, Chocolate, Blue Eyeds, Poor Man's Tropheus. Pretty much. Blue eyes are agressive for their size, related to convicts. I seen a pair beat the crap out of a Red Devil way bigger than them. Anyway they like hard alkaline water, not suitable for a SOUTH American tank. You may as well put Rift lake cichlids in if you are gonna put Central in a South American tank.
