Black neon tetras.Not sure which would be best suited to live a long side Apistogramma
I had them for a while. They were fine as dithers, but they bred like Guppies and there is no market for them locally.Hmmmmm. Surprised no one mentioned the various blue eye/lampeye killis ... the Aplocheilichthys normani I have work wonderfully thus far.
Hi all,I had them for a while. They were fine as dithers, but they bred like Guppies and there is no market for them locally.
I didn't have any predatory fish to feed them to, and I struggled to give them away to local shops.
cheers Darrel
I avoid all tetras due to their love o small mobile foods. Even hatchetfish will pick off fry. For most apistos I use micro corydorus (gracilis, hastatus, habrosus, or pygmaeus). For larger species I use rams and remove them after spawn. They are hearty enough to take a beating and fast enough to avoid most of them. It is safer with most apistos to harem breed with two males.... but a school of cardinal is very efficient at eating apist fry. I never tried red phantoms.
