Geophagus Sveni Araguaia

Geophagus Sveni Araguaia £12.99 Geophagus Sveni Araguaia Purchase size: The Geophagus Sveni is a gentle cichlid from South America. Unlike many other species of cichlids, they are a shoaling species that should be kept in a group of 5 or more individuals in a large aquarium of at least 300L. The substrate in the aquarium should be soft sand and quite deep as these fish are sand sifters. Rocks and bog wood will offer hiding places for the fish to retreat to if they feel threatened. Plants can be challenging due to the digging nature of these fish. We recommend epiphytes such as anubias and java ferns as they can simply be attached to rocks and woods, rather than grown from the substrate.
