Without the females around, it maybe ok, never tried it though.

Depends how closely they are related, male angels will not hybridise with female rams, for example.

cheers jon, is was thinking rasm and cocatoos?

Rams and cockatoos will not. Cockatoos will mix with anything else that is also an Apistogramma.

having all males is,IMO,more fun then having pairs,besides the breeding bit,females have no charisma,and are boring,
males are fun to watch and since Dwarfs are small and not strong they wont cause damage(unless of coarse breeding,)i had 2 male bolivian rams(1 died of old age)and they used to lip lock all the time,it was quite amusing,also just watching them kick the other out of their teritory

pnyklr3 when u say mix to you mean hydrise or share a tank>

 

[pnyklr3]

I mean create hybrids. You could mix an Apistogramma Agassizi with an Apistogramma Cacatuoides.

ok cheers mate what do yopu think about puting cockatoos and rams in the same tankl? would all males work?

An all-male tank would def be more colorful. I'd say that as long as you have enough "hiding" places and a lot of plants (real or otherwise) you would be okay.
