Hi everyone!!

I'm joining this forum because I want to start keeping or maybe even breeding apistogrammas.
I currently have about a 110 liter community tank (81cm x 36cm x 45 cm) wich in actual water volume hold about 110 liters.
I was wondering if I could keep and breed apistogrammas in there. It currently houses 2 panda garra, 2 german blue rams, 2 dwarf gourami, 6 CPD, 7 dwarf corydora....
Wich fish do I need to get rid of to be able to breed apistos?
I'm wanting to get rid of any of these fish to be able to keep apistos.
I was thinking about keeping and breeding apistogramma macmasteri gold. Are these easy to keep and peaceful?
plus I would like to see a trustwothy picture of this actual species to make sure I get the right one.

If they are not that easy I could get almost any apistogramma from this list from a Dutch store:

Wich one would you recomend from this list, let me know.

sorry for my bad English

Welcome!

Channeling Mike: A Community tank is not a breeding tank. (Get another tank just for the macmasteri if you want to breed them)

Your fish might breed, but you'll most likely have to remove the fry and place them in a separate tank or a breeding box, since the other fish will eat them. I would say the German Rams pose the biggest threat, simply because they might be territorial towards the new fish. The rest of the fish should simply mind their own business, in my opinion.
