A. viejita, like all macmasteri-group species, tends to be polygamous so if the aquarium is large enough a trio works well. On the other hand, macmasteri-group males tend to be more 'paternal' than most polygamous apisto species. Sometimes they will even guard the fry if you lose the female. Either pairs or harems work well, depending on space. Mike Wise "F. Tadeo" wrote: > I do have one more question. Would apistogramma > viejita color morph II do better in pairs or > trios?
