Those apistos look stunning

Thanks! I love their bright colors against the wood and plants. Apistos have quickly become my favorite fish. My lfs always has cool species, eventually I want to get a few tanks going with different pairs of different species in each.

I'm exactly the same, I absolutely adore apistos. I currently have a macmasteri in my 20 gal planted but definitely need another tank for some fire red agassizi like yours

Macmasteri is high on my list of ones I want. Hopefully soon for both of us haha

Background plants are: ammania gracilis (can’t really see, still growing in), pogostemmon octopus, Ludwigia super red.

Epiphytes: a bunch of different anubias, trident Java fern on right (still growing in), two areas of Monte Carlo (previously had a carpet, switched to sand and tied two parts of carpet to wood). Also have some hydrocotyle tripartita or however you spell that on the wood, but it’s more in the back).

Stock: 1 male, 1 female apisto agassizii fire red (king and queen of the tank, they seem like a happy couple and aren’t too territorial), 7 cardinals, 7 sterbai Cory’s, 3 otos, 1 albino blue eyed bristlenose.

Thanks for looking!
