I've recently acquired a pair of A. Agassizi, and absolutely love them. I'd never kept cichlids before.
Right now, their only tankmates are 6 Harlequins, but they will be going back to the LFS as soon as I decide on a new dither. They are just too aggressive of eaters and would be a nightmare with their speed if the cichlids ever breed.
So, I need new dithers, a target fish, and whatever else would be cool in there. I am going to try to acquire amano shrimp when I can find them.
For dithers, I've heard good things about Black Neon Tetras, guppies, etc.
I was originally considering a dwarf gourami for a target, but the word on the street is that they rip a planted tank to shreds building their nests.
On another note, is aquabid about the only place to buy solo female apistos? Nobody wants to sell me just the female, and I want a harem. So far I haven't found any female Agassizis for sale without also being force to buy the male.
