new apisto tank

[SanfordD@liberty.issaquah.wednet.edu]

Congrats to Joe M on his decision to convert to a planted tank for
apistos.   I would suggest that you start with A. cacatuoides, a
group of one male and 5 females in a 55 gal tank, rather than any
kind of "community" tank.  That way you can observe the natural
polygamous harem spawning they are known for. It might be interesting
to use 2 males but there could be problems as the natural territory
size is about 3 feet in all directions.  Let us know how it goes.
