Hey guys just found out about this site. Hello to all.:cool: I am new to apistos and I'm currently keeping 6 wildcaught borelli. I have them in a 29gallon with some matie corys. They are young group. Not sure of ratio. My ? can I add more borelli to the tank or are they just gonna murder each other off till i end up with a pair? :frown: It seems like everyone does trios or pairs. Again i state that i am a rookie.lol...... I keep tangs and malawi but apistos were to damn tempting!!!LOL....

Thanks and hope to post up some pics soon,,,,

It really depends on how the aquarium is laid out. These fish are cichlids and territorial. Unless each fish can find a territory of its own, there will be losses.

Thanks for the information. I do plan on moveing them to a 55gallon and giveing them a good amount of territory and some cichlid caves for cover and plants and drifwood. I really like them. My only male coloring up at one inch. def can't wait to grow them out. Its been two weeks so far ok.
