IMHO it is about the minimum size for breeding apistos. It would be better if it were a longer, wider and lower 70 l. If/when they spawn do you have ideas about where to keep all of the fry? They will quickly out-grow this tank.

I have another aquarium and will sell most of them on asap. What tank size would you recommend? I can't have too big as theres already a tank in my room

A ~100l with a footprint of 80x30cm would be a good size. For fry tanks 2x 50l would be a good combo, so you can have two batches of fry. But from my fish breeding experience there is only two scenarios: You buy a fry tank and have it set up for months but no fry, or you say you buy and set up one in a month, and then your fish suddenly have fry.

Good choice, I wasn't aware of your location (could have looked at the URL in your first post, though. My bad.), but something like this was basically what I was going to recommend. :)
