>>Most aphyosemion are lousy predators, but they do have a tendency to get offed by the apistos.<< FWIW I had a lone A. gardneri P-82 that I stuck in a tank with a juvenile Julidochromis transcriptus *Gombi* and Telmatochromis bifrenatus. The were about an inch in length at the time. Well the P-82 immediately started after the *poor little* Africans so I had to net him out and stick him in a jar ;-( I'd love to find a good killie as an Apisto dither. What about Cynolebias nigripinnis or some other S. American killie to keep the species from the same continent? Bill Vannerson McHenry, IL USA
