How did you manage to have juvies in a comunity tank? You really have nice pair of altifrons and those roots are awesome!

@modri Thanks Modri, the fry survived because the tank was quite big (175 gallons), the parents are wild fish and are very protective, and also the other fish in the tank (other than geophagus) were discus, corys and plecos and therefore not aggressive.
Nevertheless, many juvies were eaten in the first days...

We have lots of mopani too, but I have never seen so tiny branches as yours. Your "woodwork" is gorgeous.
We are gonna set 240 gallon tank for our Geophagus, so that's why I am asking :-).
How big is you tank and how many fish is there?

It's a matter of luck whether you'll find the wood pieces you want! The tank is 175 gallons, it has 3 adult geophagus at the moment, 10 juveniles, 8 discus and various plecos! The 240 will be great!!!
