Apisto with discus or labs?

[traco]

My female apisto cac has spawned. I want to take the male out as he is not a good dad. He was caught sneaking around, snatching the fry and eating them, little bugger! She is a really good mom so I will leave her with the fry in the 29 gallon planted tank.

Can he go into my 90 gallon discus tank with discus, cories, angels, rummy nose tetras or my 65 gallon yellow lab/estherae tank? The labs/esths are around 2" so still juvies. He is probably about the same size as them.

Thanks.

Your 90 gal should have water conditions that are more to his liking. Also, I don't see and compatablility issues with those fish. Not sure how he would get on with Africans but my guess is that you will have problems.

Thank you, Griz. I kind of thought that but wanted to make sure. Plus when I want to catch him again, could you just picture having to remove all the rock in the African tank?!

watch his growth rate

after a couple of months in that tank he will grow nearly another inch and half and develop a huge gob and you will start having dissapearing rummy nose issues

I want to see the Apisto that can eat a rummy nose. LOL That's BS. Rummynose get nearly 3". Put him in the discus tank, he'll be fine.
