Aquarium setup

Behaviour and tank mates
Geosesarma sp. Red batik needs stocking choices that respect its behaviour: temperament is listed as semi-aggressive; it usually uses the bottom area of the aquarium.
Geosesarma sp. Red batik should be matched with tank mates using the adult size, temperament, water parameters and feeding behaviour on this page. Introduce carefully and watch the first week after delivery.
Feeding and routine care
Use omnivore as the feeding guide for Geosesarma sp. Red batik. Offer small portions, vary the diet where appropriate, and remove uneaten food so water quality remains stable.
Health, delivery and acclimation
Only add Geosesarma sp. Red batik to a mature aquarium with stable water. When your order arrives, float and acclimate slowly, keep the lights low, and avoid feeding heavily on the first day. Watch breathing, posture, colour and appetite during the first week.

Before you order
Use the facts on this page as a final check before adding Geosesarma sp. Red batik to your basket. Confirm the adult size, water conditions, feeding style and behaviour suit the aquarium you already have, then choose tank mates that will not outcompete, bully or stress it after delivery.
If you are building a new setup, let the aquarium mature first and avoid mixing livestock with very different temperature, pH or temperament needs. A careful match at the start is usually the difference between a calm community tank and avoidable losses later.

I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
