I recently purchased 3 juvenile Geophagus (Satanoperca) juruparis for my 55 gal community setup. They're about 1.5" long right now. Now my local LFS has just got some Apisto cacatuoides (orange flash and triple reds), and I'm drooling for them! But I was warned that as the jurupari reach adult size, that they'd harass the apistos, so that it wouldn't be a good setup. Agree or disagree? How about a couple of kribs instead? :help2:
friends for my jurupari?

You have them in the 10g. Are you going to move them in your 55g? If not, you can have apistos in the 55g. Get another tank for the geos though.
The Geos are only in the 10 gal for a quarantine period-they are definitely going into the 55 gallon. They're gonna get WAY too big for a 10 g! LOL :grinno:
I have a jurupari in a community tank and he's one of the most mild mannered fish in the tank. He's in there with angels, a severum, uaru, clown loach, and a few other types. He's a pig when it comes to feeding time though.
I was browsing my LFS today, and I think I'm gonna go with a small school of rainbowfish. What do you guys think?
I have had these fish with Dempseys to tetras with no problems. They do not work well in planted tanks though.
