Third pair

[jowens]

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking of adding a third pair of Apistos to my heavily planted 46-gallon tank. Currently there's a pair of Agassizzi and a pair of Borelli in there with some Rams and assorted algae eaters and tiny tetra schools. The apistos get along pretty well, primarily because one half of the tank is jungle of amazon swords where anyone who's being chased can hide.

Now I want to add a third pair. Any recommendations? I'm willing to seperate the fish if there are aggression problems, but I don't want to walk headfirst into a battle royal. In your experience, what would be a smart third pair to add?

Actually, it depends on what you can get. If you have access to a viejita or something in the eunotus or regani group, that would work. It is hard to tell because both aggies and cacatuoides can be mellow or aggressive depending on the individual fish.
