Like other Geophagus, this species earns its name by taking mouthfuls of substrate, filtering out edible particles, and expelling the rest through its gills—a natural behavior that keeps it active and endlessly interesting to watch. Its coloration is typically a mix of soft earth tones—silvers, golds, and subtle blues—with delicate patterning and occasional iridescence that becomes more pronounced as it matures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003eDespite being a cichlid, \u003cem data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"668\"\u003eG. dacrya\u003c\/em\u003e is relatively peaceful and does best in groups, where it forms loose social hierarchies without excessive aggression. Keeping them in a small group helps reduce stress and encourages natural behavior. They are well-suited to larger community aquariums with other calm, similarly sized fish, but should not be housed with overly aggressive or highly competitive species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1512\"\u003eA soft, sandy substrate is essential for this species—gravel can damage their delicate gill structures and prevent natural feeding behavior. Provide an open layout with scattered driftwood, rocks, and plenty of swimming space. Clean, well-oxygenated water and stable conditions are key to their long-term health, as they are sensitive to poor water quality. While they will sift for food throughout the day, they should be offered a varied diet to ensure proper nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003eCare Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"2110\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"es8oxo\" data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1540\" data-end=\"1554\"\u003eTank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 55 gallons (larger for groups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"17fodem\" data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1634\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1598\" data-end=\"1614\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75–82°F (24–28°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1pwp3r1\" data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1654\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"os26ps\" data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1727\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1673\"\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful for a cichlid; social, best kept in groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ri9938\" data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1745\"\u003eGroup Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–6 or more recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19zwyst\" data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1861\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"1789\"\u003eTank Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine sand substrate, open swimming space, driftwood, and smooth décor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"dmrk40\" data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1864\" data-end=\"1873\"\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sinking pellets, frozen foods (bloodworms, brine shrimp), and high-quality prepared foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16y50ha\" data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"2064\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"1968\" data-end=\"1986\"\u003eSpecial Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires sand for natural sifting behavior; sensitive to poor water quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"vjepub\" data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2110\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2080\"\u003eLifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10 years with proper care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2296\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2124\"\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e A peaceful, sand-sifting cichlid with subtle beauty and engaging behavior—ideal for larger aquariums where it can be kept in a social group and display its natural habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47951393685726,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/Photo.png?v=1741200651","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/guianacara-dacrya","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
