Posted	New Geophagus
20-08-2006 16:49 by Bruce	Hi guys, thanks for the repiles on my other thread about the stainless steel pipes. Today i wents to some aquatic shops and i purchased a small geophagus altithrons for £2.50, it is about 2 inch and was the last one, was it good value? Also in another there was 11 geophagus hecki, which i haven't seen before other than in Practical fish keeping mag. They were £7.50 each and they were about 5" long, was this good value? i was going to buy 4 but didn't have enough money so i asked the guy in the shop to save 4.Thanks.

20-08-2006 18:22 by Bruce	Me too.
20-08-2006 22:29 by darren	Where were the Hecki Bruce if you don't mind me asking
21-08-2006 08:30 by PaddyD	Really good prices for both species. But it is no excuse for them getting the names wrong - Heckelli has in particular has not been in geophagus for over 20 years or so. Just for future reference the correct spelling for these species are: Geophagus altifrons Acarichthys heckeli
21-08-2006 09:00 by Bruce	Thanks, The Hecleli were under the name of Threadfin Acara.
21-08-2006 09:00 by Bruce	Sorry spelt it wrong again, i mean Heckeli.
21-08-2006 09:02 by Bruce	Sorry Darren theres none left, when i went there was 11 in the tank, and a label saying save 7, for monday, and there was 4 left and i've asked him to save them for 4 days while i prepare the tanks, so theres none left.
21-08-2006 09:03 by Bruce	Sorry done it again it's way too early in the morning, i mean save the last 4 for me.
21-08-2006 10:51 by Danny Boy	my brother owns the most impressive heckeli you'll ever see. (we also call it a threadfin acara.) the fin extensions on it are about2 inches and in vivid red. one issue with the threadfin can be these extensions though. fish will always think they are bloodworm and eat them. so bear this in mind. its a shame to see them suffer that way. having said that my brothers threadfin lost its extensions but they grew back after a few months and he seems to have kept them since. a great fish and he paid £20 for his one..
21-08-2006 11:43 by darren	Yeah but if he had those in he could probably get more
21-08-2006 15:18 by Bruce	I'll ask him, tomorrow, but i think they were brought in.
21-08-2006 15:29 by Bruce	Hey guys, i've been looking on the internet and i have found a geophagus that looks just like the altifrons that i have just bought, but it's a surinamensis. Here is the picture i found on the internet and i will submit a picture of mine.
21-08-2006 15:30 by Bruce	Heres the one i found on the internet.
