hey all, im just about to buy my first apistos, they are going to be the centerpiece to my tank.
i have a 45 gal, and the type i have on hold are cacatuoides
now here is the problem, well maybe i will only see it as a problem, but the store has 2 male, and 2 female.
naturally id like to buy the one male (hes nice and colorful) and the 2 females, but i feel like a giant **** if i just leave the other male behind, the fish store is just a big name store that doesnt care, i asked them if they could get more in stock for him, and they pretty much laughed at me for caring about the other male.
so now the question, is my tank too small for 2 males and 2 females? will it even matter if i leave the male behind, to probably end up in someones tank and never be with its same species again?
i hope someone can shed some light as im not one of those "think about the poor animal" types, but this one has me feeling that way LOL
