I think you mean mm else they would be whales.

I sure MacZ was referring to tank size, not fish size. I kept mine in a 20 Long (75x30x30 cm) where they would breed quite regularly.

Exactly, I was referring to tank size.

Sorry, but MacZ says that’s too small.

And Mike is more experienced, mileage may and can vary. also 75 or 80cm... same difference.

Given their large size i would recommend a 40B in usa. I have a pair of males for a couple of years now in my discus aquarium which is 72x24 and they can cover the territory pretty quickly. That doesn't mean a 20 long isn't fine - having said that i'm not beyond putting a 3 inch fish in a 10 so perhaps i should be careful where i throw stones.

20 long was for a single pair?

Actually a trio (1 male, 2 females). Of course experience keeping dwarfs is helpful.

Hi all,

Actually a trio (1 male, 2 females). Of course experience keeping dwarfs is helpful.

I still have mine, one male, three females.

I've been away from home for a month, so they have been on dry food. The tank was full of Ceratopteris when I got home, but the fish have been fine.

The Axelrodia riesei look more coloured, but I don't know why. They will have got more Astax crumb than normal <"https://apistogramma.com/forum/threads/are-frozen-bloodworm-cubes-bad.30069/#post-136920">

This was after they got some mosquito larvae and Daphnia.
