Anyone got any tips on breeding them. Other wise known as flag tail? Ihave one male and two females.

I'm having trouble finding some info for you on their breeding, but I have found out that they are mouth brooders. Here's a couple of links on geophagus.

geophagus brasiliensis (pearl cichlid).

and the geophagus steindachneri (redhump eartheater):

I would start with using similar breeding methods for geophagus and see what works. I hope this helps.

I bred a pair of geophagus brasiliensis (pearl cichlid). They laid there eggs on a piece of a flower pot. Spawning was similar to Angels. Very prolific,800+ eggs
