I have a male appisto wilhelmi and was wondering if i can put him in with the fish in picture

It probably is A. sp. "Abacaxis" and female. Before you consider adding this fish to the tank I suggest that you re-arrange the tank lay-out so that your male doesn't recognize its territory. When introducing a polygamous species to a breeding tank I usually put the female in a day or 2 before the male so she knows all the hiding spots when a male gets too "amorous".

Thank you,this tank is where the male will be going and it needs a re-arrangement anyway. The female has been in for 3 days, the male will go in soon
