A.panguro or A.nijisseni

[apisto_shores]

Hello all, I'm fairly new to apisto's, I have recently purchased a pair
of cacatuiodes and borellii. I was interested in getting another pair
either panduro or nijisseni. Which do you guys think and why.

Thanks in advance

if same tank, how large is it what else is in there?

if seperate tank, should be fine, I have a personal preference for nijisseni. Behaviour, looks, etc.

If you can be more specific in your questions...

In one tank? None of them... two species are enough.
Or is it a BIG tank???

greetings,

The previous two are in a 40 gal. This next pair will be in a
10 gal alone.

borelli to the 10g, cacs and nijisseni in the 40g.
IMHO a 10g is too small for a pair or trio of nijisseni
whatever you do in the 10g, you will need some white clouds for dithers in case the female spawns. In a 10g the females can be too rough on the males.

If you go with the nijsseni, put them in the biggest tank possible. I have a pair in a 20 long right now and aggression is a big problem. I had to put a divider in the tank because things were getting too nasty. I think the aggression would be very hard to manage in a 10 gallon.
