Re: Dicrossus filamentosus
Alfredo,
Your D. filamentosus should do fine in your tank as long as they can hide from
you A. panduro. I doubt that they will successfully breed in your aquarium,
however. They require a pH below 6 (preferably below pH 5.5). If they spawn, I
am sure that the P. axelrodi will eat every fry. The female is not as protective
as an apisto female.
