While I am not new to aquariums or aquaculture, I am new to this Genus, and this forum. I've gleaned a lot of information over the past 2 days, but I have some questions that I'm sure have been asked before. So please forgive the newbie syndrome. I've done the community, breeding, species, salt, biotype, reef, rearing and just about every other kind of tank and husbandry. After being out of the hobby for several years, I am now setting up a community tank that that will house just my favorite fish. It is a 44 gal corner tank. The one with the 3 flat panels across the front. I have some peat and Laterite covered by black sand. There is a rock ledge dividing the tank through the middle and a tree root suspended over this. It is fairly heavily planted, but I am still looking for a couple more plant species I want to add. I am planning on having 2-3 species of killi's, a pair of pearl gourami's, maybe 3-4 threadfin rainbows, and of course Apisto's. I've had Krib's and had them breed with no problems at all. (It seems with them, it is just add water! :redface: ) I am not concerned if the apisto's breed or not. I have always been enamored with pictures of agassizi, but now have discovered cacatuoides. So, question 1] do you advise a pair of each in the same tank of this size? 2] if not, which would you advise based on above information? 3] My foremost concern is aggresion towards the other tank members. I would not hesitate to put Kribs in this mix, and my understanding is that the apisto's are of an even milder temperment. Correct or incorrect? 4] Any other comments or advice you would offer?
Thanks for a great site!
