Apisto vs Dither

[ApistoB8s]

Hi all,

I have kept Borelli in the past in an apisto only tank and I am now looking at setting up a community tank with an apisto pair (yet to be decided). Do people tend to introduce the dither fish first or let the Apistos settle in first?

Any help would be much appreciated

Depends a bit.

If the Apistos are adults, the dithers should be added before the Apistos or at least before they establish territory. If you go with juvenile Apistos the order is not very important.
