Geophagus sp.

Geophagus sp. 🐟
 
These Geophagus came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on 1/10/25 at the Exotic Pet Surrender Event after their owner changed their tank setup.
 
Geophagus are peaceful cichlids known as “earth eaters.” They love to sift sand through their mouths, so a soft sand substrate is important for their health.
 
💧 Care Basics:
• Larger freshwater tank
• Soft sand substrate
• Peaceful to semi-peaceful tankmates
• Clean, well-filtered water
 
These fish are fun to watch and add great movement to a tank.
