Panda Garra Mob 

Yes, Geophagus winemilleri youngsters.

I like how you think, Varanid!

Glad you liked the vid...thanks for watching and commenting!

I like how they mob the food without being jerks about it.

@@DansFish my hillstream loach is such a douche. During feeding time, he would absolutely bully all my cories and hog all the food even when there's enough for everybody.

I wonder how long they live...I'm guessing 7 years or so. How old is yours, if you don't mind me asking?

@@DansFish I've had mine for close to 3 years now I think.

Brantov! Thanks, my friend!

Yes! I think their price make a lot of folks pass them up, but they are so worth it!

That quarantine tank sounds like a ton of fun!

@@DansFish They can eat a surprising amount at least I was surprised. They can eat a 3mm Northfin Veggie Pellet each. Of course Bloodworms are sucked down practically without tasting the worms.lol. But I don't want to overfeed either. Of course there are all those dozen+ Kuhli loaches and lots of shrimp too. And Bladder & Nerite Snails. 😳😳 It quite quickly became my happening tank. Wow.

Big pile of Garra = Joy.

Real ITCHY :)

LOL!!!

It is still on. Every day, I mean to shave it off and just don't ever get to it!

Their energetic personalities never disappoint!

Like kids on pinata at a birthday party!

Yeah. Last time I was at the Rio Negro I saw some habitat that I bet Garra would love.

Thanks, K P. I'm still figuring out which settings on it work best, but I like the change of pace watching fish underwater. #noglare

Mine is a total beast and has to be housed alone. Doesn't bother other species of fish though

Wow, that's very surprising, but then I suppose they are all individuals

Crypto, are you sure you don't have a chinese algae eater or something that was mislabled as a panda garra? I've never seen them be aggressive. Of course, I've always kept them in large tanks in large groups, so maybe I'm just missing the aggression dynamic.

@@DansFish yup I'm 100% sure he's a panda garra! I keep him in a 125 with roseline, rainbowfish and empire Gudgeons and doesn't bother them a bit. But any time I add additional panda garra he chases them around non stop haha

They are super cool fish. BTW, your comment reminds me that "Garra" means "sand-digger"

November is over, and the beard is still here, so, I guess it is busy beard :) Yes. Panda Garra and hillsteam loaches would be just fine together, IMO.

Thanks for the sub and like, NAR! There are so many factors that contribute to fish growth that it is hard to give a specific time. I've never actually tracked their growth rate, but I had some that grew from 2" to full grown in about 5 months (if memory serves).

🕶🎸

Oh, yes. They will climb right out of a tank without a tight lid.

Sure. They are young Geophagus winemilleri

I tend to mix soilent green in with community blend for the garra. Most fish don't really like the soilent green much, so I cut it 50/50.

I'm sold out of them at the moment. I do hope to get more in soon.

I have Panda Garras in a few tanks .. one in a SA Puffer tank who goes bonkers for Earthworm pieces.. pushes / carries it from one side of the tank to the other! He knows when it hits the water as i only give them to the puffer 1 or 2x a month!

Community blend

@@justicecountryman4060 TY!

Poppa Rock, that is the standard Community Repashy. Sometimes, I cut it with some Soilent Green to get more veggies into those garras.

I've seen a few VC pitches for autonomous farm equipment. Looks like a very exciting field. I hope you are having a great time building the future!
