I have used gold tetras, neons, cardinals, and zebra danios as dither 
fish.  I also have used guppies and the new dwarf blue neon rainbowfish.  
None of them seem to bother the apistos, but I have also not allowed the 
apistos to  raise their own fry in this environment.  A consideration, 
for people who want to let the apisto parents raise their own fry, is 
are the dithers likely to pick off the fry one-by-one.
