So I’ve kept African milawi cichlids for a few years now and I had a spare 100 litre tank sat around and I wanted to do something different. I decided to go to the other side of the cichlids world and try apistogrammers.
The tank is H48, W76, D37cm. I’ve put some silver sand in it with a lot of wood (new to me with milawis lol) I have a mix of real and fake plants and some floating plants for coverage.
originally it was a grow out tank for a baby royal plec I have which is only 2 inches but now it’s my little SA apistogrammer tank. Currently the tank is home to the baby royal plec, 6 baby BNs (all going) and 1 male and 2 female cockatoo cichlids. Eventually it will be just the apistos and the baby royal that will be living together.
My question is would it be possibly to put another little group of apistos in here or am I limited to just the 1 group? Also if I got rid of the girls could I possibly get two males?
mice read that sometimes if you get different species of apistos it’s ok, but given my tank space I was wondering if it’s possible.
Id appreciate any help and advice as I’d really love to have two types of apistos in the tank.
Here’s a photo of it so far.
thanks
