Bill, I imagine that your Bolivian Rams would do OK in a tank with panduro/nijsseni. Being open substrate breeders, they don't use the same territory used by apistos. Their size would probably help them hold up to apistos, too.

I do have two male M. altispinosa Bolivian Butterfly's (I had a reverse trio but lost the female).
