Examples of sight lines?

[Carlarc]

I've been thinking of creating a community tank(60x32x40cm)(20G) with a pair of apistos and some hatchet fish and pygmy cories, and it's come to my attention I need to break sightlines with plants and rocks, and I was wondering if anyone could provide examples or videos!(Or link some beginner's guides, preferred tankmates, plants etc.) Eager to have apistos as the centerpiece fish!

I haven't purchased anything yet, so things can be changed

Hi all,
Welcome.

I've been thinking of creating a community tank(60x32x40cm)(20G) with a pair of apistos and some hatchet fish and pygmy cories,

Those are some of my favourite fish, but
I think you really need a bigger tank for Hatchet fish. I kept Marbled Hatchet (Carnegiella strigata) with Apistogramma agassizii, "successfully" in a tank that size, but it wasn't ideal. Pygmy Corydoras (Gastrodermus pygmaeus) are good tank mates, but I think they limit fry survival.

@Mike Wise will have an opinion on whether a pair is a good idea.

and it's come to my attention I need to break sightlines with plants and rocks, and I was wondering if anyone could provide examples or videos!(Or link some beginner's guides, preferred tankmates, plants etc.) Eager to have apistos as the centerpiece fish!

Have a look at: <"https://apistogramma.com/forum/thre...-had-apistogramma-in-stock.25369/#post-124664">.

But basically no part of the lower tank where the fish can see more than ~10 cm (4") unimpeded.
