RE: How many apistos?

hi alfredo,
effectively N. anomala are easy going fish, nice and friendly
until.......they spawn when the female is among the most aggressive female
dwarf!! so, be prepared with another tank eventually to move the fry to have
her cool down!
In your selection, A. cactuoides is certainly the more colorful and easy to
breed speciss.
Good luck.

Ok, I'm convinced. I think I'm going to add to my setup only a couple of
Apistos. I've been atracted by the A. cacatuoides and the A. eunotus. I have
heard of the gregary behaviour of the A. eunotus, just like some
Lamprologus. Can someone confirm this? However, I never saw this species, is
it colourful and cute? Maybe I decide to buy the A. cacatuoides.

What do you think if I add a pair of Nannacara anomala? I've read somewhere
they are very peaceful.

Fredrik asked which killies I'm thinking of. Good question :). I don't know
because I never had killies too. Which ones do you suggest?

Currently, I am trying to adjust my water parameters. I have a pH of 6.0-6.5
(do you advise a pH inferior to 6?) and a total hardness of 3ºgH.
I think I'm not going to make more changes.
