Hello all! I am new to Aquaria Central and wondering if two geophagus orange/red heads pair up would there be a chance to use another male that u want to breed with that certain female rather than the male that paired up with it? I have two males and my alpha males does not look a stunning as the younger one. So is it possible? or the alpha is stuck with the female for life?
 
Welcome to AC and have the alpha male ane female paired up yet? If not just remove the alpha male and hope the other two spawn. Thats the best I can think of

well they did long time ago and he pair again with another female so i guess trio?..lol...but this other male is my favorite so just wonder if it is possible? the two males fight at times...but sometimes i think it can be another female check out my photo of the other male compared to my alpha male.

My alpha

which one do you think looks the best? or is the first one a female?
 
I like the alpha a lot more it's coloring on it's fins is very bold, the first one may be a female Im not quite sure.
 
well i looked just look at their tubes tube and it looks just like the alpha male? compared to the other two females. or it doesnt matter?
 
If you vented them and they look U shaped it's female of they look V shaped then it would be a male. If the smaller one is the same shape as the alpha then there males.
 
Yeah just remove the male you do not want and they should breed for you just give them some time..
 
Yeah he is smaller but is a year old and flares at the females to like dancing to them and not chasing them...the only two that does that was the alpha male and this on so im not sure....on the pic above you can slightly see the tube on the side view but its not clear enough cuz its right by the java fern tip. tell me if u can see it or not? if not ill take another pic.
 
Yes it can be done like that it's very common just feed them well and let them pair off
