The number one place I find dwarf cichild hiding are leaves..... here is an example; two fishes can be with in a leaf thickness of each other and as long as they can't see each other they accept things as they are. Of course i have problems with leaves falling on plants and plants dying or wilting from lack of light as they are covered for 30 days so there is that issue but they sure do like to hide under leaves. This little female is actually a krib hiding from the much larger male. Couldn't find any pictures but my a. bitatenia always hid from each other with leaves.

Never owned panduro but rather i always when with nijjensi and they never seem to have any aggression issues - usually pairing the minute they were out of the bags. I have 7 f1s in a 29 and so far i'm not seeing any pairing or aggression activity yet (they are over a year old so i guess it takes 18 or 24 months for them to fully mature?)

Oh well i keep a lot of leaves in their aquarium ;)

Re-designing and starting a new fish room all over again. This time we'll have many more Apistsogramma species. We are expanding.

Hi,

just in case you happen to live in Germany (or Netherlands): I have a wildcaught female A. psammophila, you could have it for free. I have no use for it anymore.
