Geophagus & Chocolate Cichlid Update

An update on the Hypselecara temporalis (Chocolate Cichlid) and the Geophagus surinamensis Cichlid from Bill's Cichlid Room.
Both these species come from South America and grow to 12 Inches, but are both peaceful species and very compatable with each other.

Thanks Ian, I’m enjoying the geos at the moment

The males also develop trailers earlier on, especially the more dominant male.

Good update!

Thanks Mr Aquatic, much appreciated.

those Geos are huge mate 👌

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

Thanks Paul, they are putting on some size now.

[@tabarakaquatics8067]

Good looking Surinamensis. They’re coming along fine. I have 6 of them that I’ve had for about the same amount of time and I noticed some of them have a more defined larger blockish shaped head along with their larger size. That’s how I distinguish between the sex.

Thanks for the tips Tararak, looking forward to them developing more over the next 6 months.

@@BillsCichlidRoom good luck bruh. I have a few videos recently featuring them if you’re interested in how they’re looking.

[@BillsCichlidRoom]

@@tabarakaquatics8067 I’ll look them up :-)

you might have found by now these Geophagus are not surinemsis (which are just about non existent in the hobby). You have here Geophagus altifrons and they look great.
