what are my geos doing?

[mark razmandi]

are they fighting? the werent really being aggressive they were just latched onto each other

[fshfrk]

They are arm wrestling fish style. It's normal cichlid aggresion. But the loser may get rejected.

They are fine. They are just establishing dominance.
Also, you may have a pair forming.
Geos do this either to decide dominance or to establish themselves as a pair.
Either way it is a good thing.
It means they are settling in.
I hope you have a pair,
they are awesome to watch breed. And they are biparental mouth brooders, which means at some point f you are lucky you will see them ransfer the fry from one parent to the other.

Somehow, I feel very lucky we humans are made the way we are. I mean, can you imagine?

sweet lol.....i just picked up a pair of red hump geos and the female is holding....the male is super aggressive towards my other geos however and i later found out on the internet that it typical of the males...the male is now in my wet/dry. i hate to have to get rid of fish right when i get them...

I hate to get rid of any fish. I just had to get rid of two that were making my community tank a very nervous place. Buenos Aires tetras. And they were beautiful, too.

if i had to sex them, i would say male left, female right.

good luck
