Description

Geophagus Winemilleri 4cm

Overview: The Geophagus Winemilleri is a strikingly beautiful and peaceful freshwater fish known for its unique bottom-feeding habits. With a vibrant mix of colors and a graceful, elongated body, this species adds both beauty and activity to any aquarium.

Origin: Native to the soft, acidic waters of the Orinoco River basin in South America, the Geophagus Winemilleri thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitat. They are found in slow-moving or standing waters where they sift through the substrate in search of food.

Feeding: These eartheaters prefer a varied diet consisting of high-quality flake food, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Their bottom-feeding nature means they will also help clean the tank by consuming leftover food and detritus.

Tank Mates: Geophagus Winemilleri are peaceful fish that do well in community tanks with species that share their calm demeanor. Ideal tank mates include larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, catfish, and other South American fish that thrive in similar water conditions.

Aggression: This species exhibits low aggression and is often more submissive, especially when kept with larger or more dominant fish. However, males can show territorial behavior during breeding.

Experience Level: Due to their specific water parameter needs and diet, Geophagus Winemilleri are best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists who are familiar with maintaining a stable aquarium environment.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 78-84°F (26-29°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard
  • Regular water changes are recommended to maintain water quality and mimic their natural flowing water habitat.

Adding Geophagus Winemilleri to your aquarium not only brings a piece of the South American rivers into your home but also provides an engaging spectacle as they gracefully sift through the substrate. Their peaceful nature and striking appearance make them a cherished addition to any suitable community tank.
