Blue Apitogrammas

[maxwellramosaquino@gmail.]

Currently looking for a blue apisto that would fit well into my tank as im looking for something to contrast with my killifish. Preferably something peaceful, yet outgoing and maybe on the bigger side. Any apisto with obvious blue markings will do. Will be kept solo

Tank specs:
- Ada 75p, 75cm x 45cm x 45 cm
- 77-78f
- Heavily planted
- Heavy rock work
- Fine sand and ada amazonia

Tank mates:
Colony of lyretail killifish
Colony of least killifish
Colony of medaka ricefish
Eight sterbai corydora
Six kuhli loaches

Thank you!

Sorry to say, Apistogramma are character fish and do not well with other bottomdwellers, especially in a tank with such small dimensions. Without the Corydoras and the Pangio one might talk about a single Apistogramma. Also maybe as a hint: Least killifish will likely land on the menu for an Apistogramma. Even the adults.
Can't recommend anything with a good conscience. Also not without having seen the tank in question.

You might try one (only) Laetacara curviceps - if you can find the actual species. I must say, however, your tank is overcrowded as it is right now.
