Hey everyone,
After a break of keeping Apistogramma, I started again by keeping a pair of one of the easier species; A. borelli.
They are living peacefully and doing very fine in my Pantanal habitat. Lately I've been thinking about adding a trio of A. trifasciata, but the thing holding me back is that I don't want any of my fish stressed out because of (territorial) aggression.
I know A. trifasciata males can be hard on their females, but what about being aggressive towards other Apisto species? Would they live peacefully or would there be fights? I know it's hard to predict, but I'm sure you guys have a better idea of how things will turn out than I do.
The tank is 120x40x50 or 47x15x19 in inches. It's not a breeding tank. Other fish include Otocinclus sp., Hyphessobrycon elachys, Serrapinnus kriegi, Corydoras hastatus and Hyphessobrycon vilmae. Attached a recent photo of the tank.
Thanks in advance.
