I would have to agree with Bob. I have a pair of A. panduro in a 125g plant tank. Originally I had simultaneously placed them in the tank with a pair of A. hongsloi. Within three days they had killed the female and were working on the male. By this time the panduro's had fry. The pair would seek out the male hongsloi and attack him. I thought a 125g would be enough room for 2 pair of Apistos! I was wrong. Now the panduro pair are working over the Otocinclus and Enneacanthus that remain in the tank. BRUTAL!!!

In my experience, there isn't a cacatuoides alive that can match a panduro for nasty. They seem okay with other fish, but can't stand conspecifics. Think "African Cichlid community tank when deciding whether there is enough docorations and territories.
