Hi everyone!
First of all, I am brand new to this forum, so if I break protocol I apologize in advance. I recently came back to the hobby after a long spell away and am keeping Apistos and other dwarfs (dwarves?) again. I recently got a couple of 40 breeders for dirt cheap and thought I'd start raising fish again. Here's where the question comes in: I would like to divided each tank in half (width or lenghtwise? Any advantages to either?) with the goal of keeping one pair per separate 20 gallon area. Would that be enough space? Also thinking of adding a few habrosus cories and maybe some dither fish like neons or nanostomma ssp. I can either make the dividers solid or with various degrees of permeability--but impossible for fry to pass through--to have extra water circulation. They would also be blackwater (when appropriate) with sponge filters. How does this sound to start? I'm really looking forward to hearing from Apisto breeders b/c this is a genus I haven't tried before. Thanks everyone and glad to "meet" you!
