Apistogramma panduro biotope

Hey!
I am setting up a Panduro biotope but i can't find any information about the ditter fish that i should include. Any tips of what ditter fish i could use?

The females are pretty nasty when in spawn. Pencil fish may work..my female used to attack snails when fry were out and about.

TomC described and pictured the biotope and species found with A. panduro: http://apisto.sites.no/page.aspx?pageid=120

Tom describes Crenuchus spilurus as being ubiquitous and has photos of them from the surrounding area. I keep these with my A. panduro in a 3 ft tank and have little problems. I also keep Corydoras pygmaeus, Paracheirodon innesi, Nannostomus eques and Copella compta with them. The female can be aggressive when breeding, but given space and leaf litter mine is OK. They also share with a random few of their offspring of different ages.
