Let me start by saying I have 1m/3f Borellii & 2 coral red pencil fish (was 6 but 2 pair up and chased the rest to death wtf.. these were supposed to be peaceful dithers).
Anyway I hear "You could easily fit 3 pairs of apistos in a tank that size" a lot (and I mean a lot), Reddit, LFS's, fellow fish keepers, ect so I thought I'd ask here before I make a huge mistake
Can I add another species of apistogramma to my 40g breeder tank?
The apistos available that I'm interested in are;
-Agassizii (reds and blues mixed together, guessing this is bad?)
-Cacatuoides (young but look more orange flash than red which they're labeled as)
-Viejita (I like these the most but how do you sex them so young? Also I thought these get macmasteri size? Online I can't find much info apart from 5cm max :S in sure this is wrong...)
If this is a really bad idea are there any more interesting fish I could add with the Borellii, preferably more cichlids because tetras, raspboras, pencil fish, ect are a bit boring imo.
