Hey guys,
I'm planning a new 120 cm./ 240 ltr. tank. This will be an Amazon-biotope-ish tank, with a sandy bottom, lots and lots of driftwood and leaf litter, and some Echinodorus (Bleheri, Magdalensis and Parviflora) with drifters (L. Laevigatum). It's main inhabitants will be 6 Angelish (Black Scalare) and a pair of Ancistrus. There will also be a harem (1M 3F) of Apistogramma Ramirezi. I also have a harem of Apistogramma Cactuoides (1M 3F) in another tank that I want to rehouse to this new tank The question is obvious: will this work? I'm reading conflicting reports online, so I come back to the horse's mouth, so to speak. They are all very mellow, no agression between them whatsoever, except for the female bullying the male when there was just the two of them, and the male was smaller and much younger than the female (this is the Cactuoides I'm talking about; the Ramirezi are super chill). The new tank will be, as said, done with quite a bit of driftwood, especially on the bottom, as to create several zones and nooks and crannies. There will also be 6-10 coconut halves as breeding caves hidden under the wood and in the sand. I'm hoping/ thinking this might give them enough space and seperate territory to work out.
What do you guys think?
Thanks!
