In this episode, the Water Colors team discusses why Eartheaters, the fishes in the Subtribe Geophagina, are perfect aquarium inhabitants for many fishkeepers. If you have stories (or pictures) to share of your Geophagus, you can post them to the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Listeners Facebook group.
