Hello guys.
Quickly update: I changed the hang on filter. Now I'm using a cannister.
Added more leaves in the tank. Still looking for a good piece of driftwood and some more branches.
Only 4 Nannostomus remain in the tank. The others I moved to my bigger tank, otherwise they could be dead by...
Guys, this isn't the theme of this forum, but I would like to know if it's ok to buy some angel fish and keep them in my tank.
Do you think it will be okay? I was thinking in 5 angels. What do you think? Does anybody have experience with angels?
Thanks!
Thank you!
Yes, I’m afraid that it gets too much clean. I’ll try to find some good and big piece of wood to put on the right side of the tank, close to the roots. Let’s see if the tank will look better…
A little update:
After sometime, the female is missing again. I saw her for the last time two days ago. Hope she's ok.
I also did a layout change, so the aquarium is with less driftwoods and branches now.
The male is increasingly colorful.

So… I know it’s strange but for how long can a female of apistogramma desapear? I haven’t see mine for more than a day. I looked in the floor near the tank and didn’t find it. Searched over the tank I and didn’t see it too. All the other fishes are fine and healthy.
Any tips?
Hey guys, question: A. sp. Abacaxis needs caves to spawn? The female is super aggressive protecting the left side of the tank, I don't know if it's a breeding behavior...
Thanks in advance.

That was my fear...
I contacted the breeder and he said that will send me one female as soon as possible. But I'll have to keep this male. My only option is pass him to the bigger tank and hope the dicrossus does not care about it. The other tank is 1,4m long and I keep 4 dicrossus (3f 1m)...
Updates.
I received the pencil fishs. They are Nannostomus trifasciatus.
Here's another picture of the lesser Apistogramma:
The fins looks right to me, they are very smaller than the male's fins. What concerns me is the dark spot on the mouth. I believe that only males develop it, right...
