So far no but they are only about 4 inch.I got these guys off mac.great fish from these guys

Nice one geoff id say you are delighted with the new purchase

Just watch the geos as they always seem to do better in a small group, they seem to thrive with the thoughts off hitting their neighbours a dig every now and then.
Surinamensis are as rare as hens teeth if not completely gone from the trade. All geos seem to come in under this name. Thats why you see so many geo id threads on other forums, its like a lucky dip.
Brian chocs are just big clumsy brutes. Even when spawning there's no real aggression, well that's our experience with them anyway.

This is one off my guys mac

Very nice; are driftwood and resulting tannins a must/beneficial for a SA set up?

Cracking fish, nice Flash plec in the background

Great pictures geoff
