Hi
Havent been her for a while as I gave up apistogramma when my second one died when I was away and the care taker over fed. But I think I maybe want jump back on the horse. I have one 60 l hea planted tank and as in HEAVY. Fish in there are ottos Pygmy cories and this is what I am not sure about, chillie rasboras. So can one male borelli go with the chillies?

Canada eh
Sounds perfect for a pair of borelii or even just a singular fish. The chillies should be fine with more timid species like the borelii.

I thought why not just go for a pair?

show the hole tank as I am entering for iaplc. Would this be a suitable fit? Tank mates are chillie rasbora otos and Pygmy cories. I don’t want to breed them for profit so if one or two survive that would be cool but my primary goal is not to breed them.

Apistos are very much bottomoriented. But if they chase each other or things like that accidents might happen but are very unlikely. I only use a jumpguard, I don't even know where the lid is anymore.

This is a gorgeous tank!! I have to say I'm so jealous.

At lest in the USA you can buy fiberglass screening for a very small amount. I use it on the back of my tanks because the loaches like to jump through small holes.
