Apistogramma agassizii

[boattos]

What do you guys think about keeping Apistogramma agassizii with Cockatoo apistos in a 29 gallon tank?

Also, how would they do with Kribs in a tank? (seperate tank, 65 gallon)

I definitely wouldn't keep them with Kribs, with Cockatoo's it may work but it is a little cramped to be honest.

Better off just keeping Agassizii pair or add 2 females one male.

A. agassizii males are pretty territorial. So no to keeping cockatoo's with them in a 29 IMHO. And I'm not sure I would keep the agassizii's in the 29 if it were me either. I had some in a 65 gallon (36"x18") and the male was super territorial in that large of a tank and didn't seem to have enough room and killed every other male agassizii in with him. They might do OK as the only bottom dwelling cichlid in a 4' tank though. So no kribs either IMHO.

Thanks Guys!

I will heed your advice.

By the way, what does IMHO mean? (as you can see I'm still a little fish, don't submit responses on the forum much)

IMHO = in my humble opinion.
