How many apistogramma should be kept together?

It’s best to keep more than one Apistogramma in the tank. More females are preferred, as males tend to show signs of aggression. Common options are to keep bonded pairs together or do a harem grouping with multiple females to one male.

Can apistogramma be kept in a community tank?

Apistos are a wonderful choice for a community tank. They’ll live on the bottom of the tank, so they’ll do well with any species that doesn’t take up the valuable ‘floor space’ down there. These Apistos appreciate having that territory to claim all their own.

Can I keep a single Apistogramma?

New Member. That is just fine. I keep some of my males in solo tanks until I am ready to try breeding them with a female. The only disadvantage I can see is that they are really fun to watch when there is a female in the tank.

Can you keep Apistogramma in a 10 gallon tank?

Ten gallon is a bit small for a pair, unless it is very heavily planted and has lots of cover. Smaller, less aggressive species would work, Apistogramma borellii for example. A male on his own would be fine, and you could dither it with any Tetra etc.

Can I keep 2 male Apistogramma together?

A 1+ meter long tank should be able to have 2 males with their own territories. If 1 male claims the entire tank, it usually is an indication that the tank is not properly designed with visible territorial boundaries and many hiding places. Of course, each female will need similar territories, too.

How many Apistogramma are in a 10 gallon?

If you plan on just one male Apisto a 10 would be fine, well planted 10 gallon might work for pairs from what I have heard. I’ve kept eight different species and of Apistogrammas both Agassizii and Cacatuoides (they can get nasty in a small tank) but not Borelli yet.

Can you keep Apistogramma with angelfish?

Can guppies live with Apistogramma?

Short term, they would probably work out ok, but most guppies are going to prefer a higher pH / harder water / higher temps than apistos. As far as them getting along, yes, it could probably work; although the guppies will probably prey on apisto fry.

Does Apistogramma dig?

These fish are quite shy and retiring and require a planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places (e.g., driftwood, PVC tubing, flowerpots and so on). A fine gravel substrate is recommended. Apistos seem uncomfortable over bare bottoms and they seem to enjoy digging.
