I was thinking about getting some of that species, too! Have you seen this picture? He's not a triple red, but he's gorgeous.Bunny13 said:
Hi plah831 and Bunny 13. Ok apistos can be both agressive and non agressive mostly depends on the fish they all have dif personalitys. I would only recomend 1 species in a 20 gal or smaller. Almost all apistos can be kept in prs though some prefer harams. The harams spreads out the agression between the fish. When they get into breeding mode the females get real agressive/protective of their chosen breeding site some to a point you have to remove the others. When In breeding dress the female apisto is a site to behold the combination of yellow and black can be spectacular also the males colors get awesome. Cacatuoides are a good beginner fish also agassizii there are many color variations of either and both are reasonably available. The most important componant in an apisto tank is hiding places and caves at least 1 cave for ea female and an extra. There are also other apistos with great coloring as a show or center piece I would consider a pr of mcmasterii red shoulder. Also another important factor is gh of 75ppm or less PH is not as important as asertained unless intend on breeding them. If you have any more questions feel free to pm me I keep 16 dif species of apistos and a few other dwarf S.A. species.
