I wish I always had a camera ready, I keep multiple pairs together and I've had two pairs duel with each other at the same time, male against male and female against female. No damage done just trying to make the other pair back down. Funny sight.

May setup a 10g for apistos once the 20 is done. How much is it to ship fry?

Don't know I've never shipped them. I can let you know when they are a little bigger.

I think a custom dwarf tank would be cool. Something like 4 feet wide and only 10 inches deep and 13 or so high would make a cool unique tank IMO. Keep a few breeding pairs in there.

That would be really neat. If I get a 55 or 75 I would do an Amazon bio-tope with a few pairs of dwarf cichlids, maybe discus.. Tetras, cory cats, my dream tank pretty much

Mines similar except make it a 125, a colony of smaller geophagus, a bunch of apistos, and a big school of tetras.

It's a dream tank, I have the 125 with the stand but no room to setup right now.
