Thoughts on Apistos with Golden White Clouds?

[AlbanyFishGuy]

I was wondering about compatibility for tank with a single apistogramma and a few golden white cloud minnows. (maybe 4?) Im sure people will mention the cooler temps for white clouds, and this is true. However ive had white clouds in many community tanks for years that were 76-78 with no issues. Like a lot of fish the stability and steady parameters make all the difference. I take a lot of time acclimating too lol. So aside from temp, what do you think? Issues? Thanks!

Depends on which species of Apisto you want to keep as well as tank size.

Was imagining a 5-10gallon. Im not super familiar with the different apistos i just am really drawn to them. What would you suggest?

Because they are cichlids, I wouldn't do them in anything less than a 30" long tank if you are going to keep them with smaller fish.
