A Atahualpa "sunset "

[hapaluku]

Hello.
I have a question about my sp. "sunset".
My tank is 128 Liters (80*40*40 cm), with wood and floating plants.
I have 2 males and 2 females in the tank.
1 male is very aggressive and chases the others all the time, they are WF.
Is there anything i can do different for a better result.
Best regarts.

You can try to put another male. IMO 3 males of Apisto are 100x better than 2- agression of "alfa" male can be shared between other two males.
But if it was my tank I'd give away second male.

I have 1+2 in 80x40 tank and one female has hard times from time to time.

I feel that you have too many fish in your aquarium. I would keep a trio (1M, 2F). A. atahualpa is a relatively large and aggressive apisto. Once a female breeds, you should remove the other female or she could be killed.
