Are Different Apistos Compatible?

[mattbond]

is it possible for a trio of borellis, trio of cacatuoides and a trio of nijjenis to co-exist peacefully within the same tank?

the tank would be 200 litres, and heavily planted and with lots of coconut shells?

thanks in advance

IMO two of the three species would be fine, but adding all 9 would be risky due to limited space for territories

which ones would you think would go ok?

IME all apisto species can be treated the same, although some are slightly more sensitive than others, (on par with german blue rams) but provided you have a relatively low ph then all should thrive.

A.Nijsseni is one of the more sensitive species, whereas the borelliis and cockatoos are generally quite hardy
