Mixing Apistos With Keyholes And Corydoras

[m1lky12]

So after near enough 18 months since I upgraded my tank I'm looking to reshuffle my stock a bit. The other day I was in my LFS and stumbled across some Cockatoo dwarf Cichlids (Apistogramma Cacatuoides) and was just wondering how they would get on with some of my other inhabitants.
 
So the fish in question are my Keyhole Cichlids and my group of Panda Corys. Now I know Keyholes are peaceful but with my tank being 175L corner aquarium, so it has a relatively small footprint, and the fact that both types of Cichlid would occupy the lower/middle parts of the tank would there be any problem here? I've never kept Apistos so not sure of their temperament in a situation like this.
 
And my concern with the Corys is I've read some Dwarf Cichlids will target there eyes and bite them out?
 
Just to stress that this is just for research purposes and I doubt that I'd have enough room for all 3 types in my tank anyway! Thanks.

I would personally go with just the Keyholes and the Cories, I think adding the Apistos could cause problems. Apistos generally need keeping in trios with 1 male to 2 females and I dont think your tank could give them the space with other bottom dwellers in that tank. BUT you could look at other Dwarf Cichlids Something like a pair of Laetacara Dorsiger or Laetacara Curviceps would work very nice

Ditto Wills with the laetacara dorsiger or curviceps, I have kept both these with keyholes and corys.
