Gorgeous!!
Will you be selling/shipping the fry when they're ready? I'm planning on setting up my 26g for Apistos. Any recommendations as far as numbers, tankmates, etc.?
Sorry for the delayed response, I've been sick since I got home and am just now starting to feel a bit better.
Yes, I do plan on selling and shipping the fry when they're ready. For a tank that size a trio would be possible, however if they start spawning you'd have to watch the spawning female for aggression and or egg/cave raiding of the other female. I've had it happen just once and that was enough of that.
If you put more than one male in a tank, one will become the dominant male and the other will be a lot less showy. Though the coloration will return if the males are split up.
As for tankmates, I've been keeping them species only since I've been working on breeding them. I've heard of success with smaller dither fish such as danios but I would avoid anything big finned or flashy.
