Thinking of adding some apistogrammas to my tank

[Alison]

Hi everyone,
I have an established community tank - 900 litres, Planted with lots of anubias and with bog wood and caves. There are a group of clown plecs, a few cories, a few loaches, loads of tetras, a few barbs and some swordtails. There is a single kribensis and I will be adding a pair of red breast acara when they grow big enough.

Just wondering which apistos would be suitable for my setup? It is moderately hard water, pH about 7.2 and temp about 25.

There is some free swimming area at the rear of the tank - 4ft x 4 ft x 2ft.

Or other dwarf cichlids posssibly ?

Any clear- or whitewater species should be fine. Just realize that there will be 'communication conflicts' between South American cichlids and your Pelvicachromis.

Thanks - I am hoping that the amount of space and aquascaping will mean they don't need to try and communicate too often !
