One thing that I was thinking - since I have two community tanks up and running (with other tropical fish) - would it work to move some of those other fish around - once my apisto fry are big enough - so that I have then spread out the apistos between three community tanks - depending on...
Hello,
I currently have ten apisto fry (one month old). They are in a 15 gallon planted tank by themselves - eating baby brine shrimp, Hikari First Bites, ground up Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet and a couple of the bigger fry are starting to eat my smallest black worms.
I have a few...
Yes - I have already discussed with my LFS about the possibility of fry - right now I am in the process of cycling a new 15 long and it will be quite a while before I have the apistos in the tank. I have not really decided on a pair OR one male/two females OR two males. If I get two males - do...
Trying to figure out what I'll be doing for lighting and would like to do open top - is this safe for apistos and/or is there a recommendation regarding margin (in inches) from top of water to top of tank?
Thanks!
Wendy
After some thought and call to LFS, I've decided to ditch the 10 gallon and set up a 15 long instead. With this in mind - I am hoping a pair or trio of A. Borelli will work out better. Any thoughts? And again - thanks.

I'm starting to think that i culd squeeze in a 20 gallon high - this would only be 4 inches longer than a 10 gallon - but would offer up a lot more space.
I do have a choice of two other community tanks to use - if the need arises. I'm going to jam up this new ten gallon with plants and several hiding spots - I would love to try a pair. . . . . I have a pair of German Blue Rams in a 20 gallon long that are so much fun to watch - they have had...
Hi Darrel,
Thanks for the quick reply and all the good information! Just to clarify what I think you are saying- I could attempt setting up a pair of apisto borellii if the tank is heavily planted (I would love to do a bigger tank but there is simply no more room). I don't like watching...
Hi all,
I have a series of questions - looking forward to your answers.
1) How many apistos will work well in a 10 gallon? Do I try for a pair (who may potentially breed) or should I just have a couple of males? Or should I just go with one male and some appropriate dither fish?
2) Best...
