I keep killies and dwarf Neotropical cichlids together routinely without
any problems. Now I have F. gardneri and A. nijsseni housed together. I've
kept A. bivattatum with A. borelli, A. bitaeniatum with Laetacara, and
Cynolebias whitei with P. altispinnosa, all without much conflict. The
only problem I ran into was when the Laetacara developed some disease that
also wiped out my A. bitaeniatum. However, killies dumped in with small
African cichlids become hors d'oevres. That's how I cull my killies.
All I have in Apistos and look-alikes right now are a couple of P.
altispinnosa (apparently both males), a female A. nijsseni (male just
wasted away and died this week - sigh!), and a large unidentified female.
I'm just getting back into Apistos and they are hard to find around here.
