Tank stocking

[TheFishDodo]

Hi I was wondering if I could stock the following things in a tank with the dimensions of 45 x 31 x 36 (cm)

Either a pair of A. Borelli, A. Agazzii, A. Bietaniata
A pair of Mexican dwarf crayfish
A small school of one of the 3 different types of pygmy cories
and a group of tetras (something around the size of a cardinal or smaller)

The tank will have a substantial hardscape and be decently planted.

That may work, I'm just concerned about mixing crays with dwarf cories.. And also possibly aggression from apistos but if the tank is well decorated then it may not be too bad.

I was concerned about that to so I was thinking maybe some shrimp but then I would have to worry about the Apistos.

Apistos snack on shrimp, so that may not work. Shrimp are often food for most fiah

Crayfish are coldwater, but everything else in there is tropical soooo. You know. That.

Also the latter two Apistos you listed prefer harems, with multiple females to a single male. Borellii are sometimes monogamous, but I'd also suggest A. macmasteri, or something within the nijsseni complex (eg A. panduro) for a more stable pair.

But thats just me being nitpicky

Dwarf crayfish or not wouldn't mix with any specie of Apistogramma. I would worry about the Dwarf crayfish killing resting Apistogramma during lights out.

I don't think a crayfish the size of a thimble would hurt a fly if it dropped in the tank and drowned. I feel like the reverse is more likely.
