Hi I'd like to put some apistos in a 20 gallon tank. What apistos could I have and how many. I know the tank is 60cm( haven't got I yet ). Also the apistos I really like are cockatoo apisto, Blue Apistogramma
There is a site dedicated to apistos and other dwarf cichlids, aptly called apistogramma.com that will give you photos and detailed info about many available.
There are cool water Apistos from southern S America that don't need heaters, and can handle varied water chemistry as well as soft, warm water types, all to fit your particular conditions.
two or three females to one male ratio, I like tripple red apisto![]()
Only one male in a tank of your size due to aggression. Keep m/f of the same species to avoid cross breeding undesireable hybrids. 1m/2-3f & some small tetras and you're good to go.
yeah i understand now. So do you think the I choose would work? Also would I be able to put any more fish in like some dithers
Small tetra would work, avoid tetra such as Buenos Aires, neon or cardinal would really look great, also cory catfish.![]()
