Looking for some fish with a little more flash..
Can they be mixed with my current buddies?
75g, lightly planted. 7.2ph..
Current swimmers..
2 veil angels
7 Schwartzi cories
2 angel botia
1 three spot gourami
7 glass cats
14 bloodfin tetras
9 black neon tetras
1 bamboo shrimp

The tetras are most likely going to friends or another tank...
Thanks for your insight!
 
the bloodfins will be fine with them, I really do not see a problem at all with the stock you currently have. I keep em in with angels and other dwarf cichlids and corydoras,kuhllis,dwarf plecos ect and they do just fine.
 
I agree...should be fine. I'm sure your Bamboo Shrimp is too large to be a snack, but just watch that the Apistos don't nip at it. My Apisto killed Amanos that were not that much smaller than him....didn't eat them, just harassed the shrimp and nipped at them until they died.

I agree, but the gourami may prove to be a wild card as it matures.
 
Thanks for the info EVERYone.. :)

I didn't specify, so I guess any Apistogramma is ok??
