Keeping Apisotrammas Alone

[nadajdui]

Would it be all right to keep one male apistogramma without any females? Just wondering, as I have a lone male apistogramma cacatuoides, and have no sources at this time for any females. I just want to make sure he'll be all right on his own.
Thanks.

from what I know about apisto's they are fine on there own although I believe they can be happier with more of their own kind they can be kept singular

Yes, keeping a lone male is fine.

Looks better with more though

The one big disadvantage is missing out on the mating rituals, displays and interaction between the male and female. I find this to be one of the really interesting aspects of keeping apistos. Your lone male will be just fine though.
