Apisto's in a 30 gallon?

[Norman Fenske]

Not a community tank was thinking of adding a couple pairs of Apisto's or a group of 5-6 young apisto's let them pair off the only other fish in the tank maybe some tetras that stay away from the apisto's but that is it?? Any ideas??

Me? I'd just add the 5-6 juveniles. 2 pairs (most apistos don't pair-bond) + juvies are too many in the long run. Just my opinion.

Only reason for asking I have seen several videos where its pretty clear there is more then just one type of apisto from what I have experience so far if I were to put as an example 2 pairs of triple reds in the same tank odds are great something will go wrong.

I would just keep a pair with some tetras. You get the best behaviors out of them that way, IMO.
