Great help Russ. Thanks! Truly thanks guys, you, Mike, Gerald have all been an enormous help with this. I now have a plan, fingers crossed. I am ordering a 65 gallon - 36x18x24 tank, I like tall tanks. Hopefully everything will be setup by the end of March and I will start the cycling process with a school of Bloodfins, I've found they are extremely hardy with new tank cycling. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Then after the tank is cycled and planted and filled with caves and driftwood, I will add some dither fish, hopefully Nannostomus mortenthaleri, Nannostomus rubrocaudatus and or Diptail pencilfish. The Bloodfins will be removed to my 40gallon community tank. From there the tank will continue to mature until the ACA's then hopefully I will be able to find some juvenile Apistogrammas. Wouldn't mind finding two different bags of the same type of juvenile Apistogrammas from different breeders. Two bags from different stock. Maybe even F0 or F1. Then place them all in the 65 and watch them grow. With time and through maturity if I am lucky enough to produce a mating pair they will be cordoned off to breed. Ohhh….. if wishing made it so. Not set in stone, more like written in pencil but that is the plan. What do you think?
