nannacara anomala and apisto's

[farm41]

Is it okay to mix these fish? I am getting a pair of nanies today and I would like to put them in one of my display tanks. Either with a trio of cacs in the 60g or in the 75 with 6 subadult cacs, 1 pair M. ramerizi, and 1 pair borelii.

I'm also getting a trio of wild caught A. panduro. Which setup would they be okay with?

I'm currently keeping them in trios with A. hongsloi and A. cacatouides. Typical dwarf behavior. They all tolerate each other until eggs are to be found. Mamma anomala can be wicked nasty at that point. But, I have them in smaller tanks (15g). A bigger tank might give the others more room to scatter should the inevitable happen.

Thanks Cichlids1,

I have the nanies in the 60g with the trio of cacs and they are doing fine.

Dave,
Take good care of my Adoketa!!! ;-) Do me a favor and get them all conditioned for me so all I have to do is add water and they will spawn. I'll even give ya partial credit for the spawn :lol:
