Description

Geophagus Megasema 4cm

Overview: The Geophagus Megasema is a stunning and graceful species known for its distinctive appearance and fascinating behavior. With its shimmering colors and elegant, sandy bottom-digging habits, this fish is a captivating addition to any aquarium. They are relatively peaceful, making them an excellent choice for a community tank with the right tank mates.

Origin: Native to the tranquil rivers and floodplains of South America, the Geophagus Megasema thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitat. They are found in a range of freshwater locales, where they sift through the substrate in search of food.

Feeding: These cichlids are omnivores with a preference for a varied diet. They do well on a mix of high-quality pellet food, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, and vegetable matter. Their unique feeding style of sifting sand should be accommodated with appropriate substrate and food choices.

Tank Mates: Ideal tank mates include other South American cichlids of similar size and temperament, larger tetras, peaceful barbs, and other bottom dwellers that do not compete aggressively for food. Avoid small, nippy fish that may stress or harass the Geophagus Megasema.

Aggression: This species exhibits low aggression, especially compared to other cichlids. They are generally peaceful, especially towards non-competing species, making them a good candidate for a community tank setup.

Experience Level: Intermediate. While not overly demanding, the Geophagus Megasema requires a carefully maintained environment and a diet that meets their unique needs. Knowledge of water parameters and tank setup to mimic their natural habitat is essential for their well-being.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 76-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-15 dGH
  • Regular water changes are essential to keep these parameters stable and to mimic the clean, flowing waters of their natural environment.

Create a serene and stunning aquatic display with the Geophagus Megasema, a peaceful and beautiful centerpiece for the discerning aquarist.
