Hi all,
my tank is 60x40x50h, so around 110 liter. I kept here a couple of A. Borrelli and one month the female died. Not sure on the cause, everything looked good the day before and then the surprise. I had some aggression problem that I solved (or at least I hoped so) by adding some extra decoration and caves, but I still suspect the male as responsible (the female belly was opened but this could have happened later too..).
Btw, having said that I'm planning to add two females, but since the bottom of my tank is 60x40 I do not think it's a good idea. I then though about "tuning" my tank. Since apistos do not really need such high column of water the idea is to add a plexyglass panel in the middle of the tank and increase the horizontal surface available.
The aim is that one female will occupy the bottom part of the tank and the other the upper one. I made a drawing to make it simpler to understand.
Now my questions
1) is this a completely crazy idea? will it work?
2) any suggestion to improve it?
thanks!
Alberto
