Finally Got Apistos

[Ashenwelt]

Just added 2 pair of Tripple Reds to my community tank! Honestly surprised they are neon tetra size right now.

Oh, I probably should add... no not for the five, but the heavily planted 45G. Congo Tetras, Rhummynose Tetra, Neon Tetra schools plus a swordtail, two guppies and two (soon to be six) Ottos.

Planted dense like a jungle as my wife says. Java ferns, dwarf hair grass, anubias, amazon swords, ocelot swords, cardinals and lots of crypts and anacharis. Hmm... and some unknown plants... maybe it is a jungle.

Post some pics of the aquarium and the fish (especially the two newcomers)

Will have work hard to get the Apistos... actually 4, 2 M and 2 F. The girls are seriously good at hiding. The boys come out more. Granted they are super young right now. The boys are neon size.

I swear they are Camera SHY!

Hi.

Oh and they have lots of places to hide lol.

That's good! No doubt about that.
The easier it is for them to stay hidden, the safer they feel.
And my guess is they'll soon come out more.
Your shoal of ditherfish will also have a calming effect on the apistos.

Nice tank. Good aquascape.
