Hi folks,
I recently had a thread up in which I had my latest Apisto purchase identified as Ap. Trifasciata, with the possibility of being Ap. Cf. Trifasciata (Guapore). I have one Male, and two females (had three but one died).
What my next question is, what other Apisto would be safe to house in a well planted 1.2m (4ft) tank with the Trifasciata? I would be looking to keep one pair only of another species, as I do not want to cause too many issues with territorial disputes. The tank has lots of wood in there too, so there are plenty of 'line of sight boundries'.
I was hoping to get hold of something like Ap. Bitaeniata (Tefe) or cf. Agassizii 'Santerum Red', but there are just so many Apistos out there, that these two certainly are not the only choices. I am pretty limited though as Apistos can be rather hard to get in this neck of the world!
Would the above mentioned be ok with the Trifasciata? I was quite surprised by the aggresion shown by my Male Trifasciata, as I had always believed before that they were relatively peacefull Apisto's, hence my question?
Are there any others that you would recommend? Or Avoid like the plague?
Regards
G!
