Now, i've only one tank, communautary and display. I manage to get another little one (54 litres) in a few weeks. I don't think this second tank will be spacy enough for my Moliwe pair (do you think it would ?), and by the way the big tank will have no interest without King and Queen Moliwe. Sure i can get rid of the cardinalis. Sure i won't be able to get the male with female and fry without destroying my aquascape. I am going to try to have more plants for leaf coverage in the tank which is already well planted. Until the awaited time when i have enough room and tank to have breeders specific tanks, i will have to "play" with poor considerations. thanks everybody for this interesting ML, Colin Dujardin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
