Hi,
I was browsing around on Apistodave's website and read that the natural behavior of apistogramma's becomes more apparent when they're with more of them in a tank.
All my apisto's are with pairs or trios in separate tanks now but I would love to have a bigger aquarium with multiple generations swimming around. Some territorial behavior would also be nice to see, although there should be space enough for all males to be happy.
That made me wonder, how big would a tank have to be to allow multiple males (let's say 2) to have a territory and provide enough space for the fish to breed (i.e. for fry to survive)?
