2 Pairs Of Apistos

[vancouver]

Should I stick with 1 pair in a 10g?

Or is it possible to have 2 pairs?

I'm new to apistos, just bought a pair of nanno somethings..

Wondering if I could add another small pair.

WAY too small for 2 pairs of apistos. Check out the post pinned to the top of the forum - it's got lots of great info.

Silly me didn't even look for a pinned topic on them.. Thanks..

Looks like having 2 pairs in a 10g is too small.

I guess I could move them to my 40g, but that tank houses snails, and has a ph of around 7.6. I don't believe apisto's like the ph that high, so they'll have to stay in the 10g for now. I hope 10g isn't too small for the 1 pair.. The pinned topic does basically say 20g is the minimum tank size...

I believe they are ''Nannacara Anomala''.. will get some pics tomorrow and post for positive ID..

I don't know much about apistos, so I was looking around for some info on these and found this link - Cichlid-forum I thought it had some really interesting info so well, there ya go

hm hm hm

Now I'm not so sure that is what I have.. LOL

The pics on that site don't look too similar to mine..

Later I will get pics and see if someone can ID..

They are really timid, and don't seem to like each other. They hang in opposite corners of the tank.
