Introducing Apistos with Bolivians

Hi everyone
New member to the group and keen to get your collective advice.

I have a 55g tank planted with lots of swords, Anubis, and a fair bit of driftwood throughout. Ph at 7, temp at 26c.

Currently stocked with a school of 11 flame tetras, 2 bristlenose cats, and 4 Bolivian rams.

I was thinking of adding a single male apistogramma (perhaps a double red or mcmasteri) but not sure if it would cause problems with my Bolivian Rams since they all occupy the same level of the aquarium.

Do you think it would work?

Thanks!

It should not be a problem since apistos and rams occupy different micro-habitats in nature. The only exception is if a pair of rams wants to breed.
