Can apistogramma cacatuoides live by themselves?

[FreshWaterTropics]

Just a general question. Can a male cacatuoide live on its own with out a female. I have one right now hes in a community tank along with 10 neon tetras, a opaline gourami and 3 Rainbow fish. He seems to be doing ok, does he need a female or will he do fine.

He'll be fine by himself. As long as the water quality is good he should live a long and fairly happy life: no predators, food every day...

If you add a female your community tank may become far less harmonious should she decide to lay eggs.
