hi julian

firstly, I do not think having that many apistogramma in there is feasible, IMO a rough guide is 2ft (max 2female to 1male of the same species) the terrority of a female is ard 30cm in diameter and if u have that many apistogramma in there, problems will arise when either one goes into their breeding mood.. overall the setup is great, what is the size of the tank? 2 or 3ft? maximum I think will be 2 species the most if its 3ft
