Can I do some type of geophagus and how many and of what type do you think Is the most colorful/ peaceful

Depends on how big your tank is. I keep 6 G. Altifrons is a 150 gallon tank with angels and cories. They do best in groups and grow very large. My Geos are about 9" each.

Geos are pretty peaceful and can get along with most fish. They require a sand substrate.

I wouldn't recommend it. Why not go for a group of Bolivian rams instead. I have 3 tanks: 17 gallon, 90 gallon and 150 gallon. The 6 Geos in the 150 are pushing it. I keep Bolivian rams and schools of tetras/rasboras in my 90, and it makes for a very peaceful tank.

I have a festivum that I've had for 3 years and never seem any aggression at all from him I also just got a uaru that's about 4 inches and a keyhole that's about 2 inches both are peaceful too I also have a pair of kribs in my tank that breed and had 8 fry all about 2 inches now and doing great. And a bgk that's 3 inches 2 clown loaches and 2 angelfish I have a 90 gallon tank

Uarus get huge. I used to keep them. He is going to get way too big for a 90 gallon tank. Same for BGK.
