    Yesterday saw half a body of a Green Neon in my 2ft tank. Wonder if it is the work of apistos or the shrimps? Counting again I found actually 3 neons missing.

    Ha ha ha ... quite right.
    2 macs, 1 rotkeil male, 4 nijsennis, 2 agassizis. 8 t-bars are in another tank.
    BTW - I wonder if the 20 Green Neons I got in early March were infected with any disease brought in together with the apistos in late April. I saw one quite weak lately and breathing at surface. And maybe the shrimps took the opportunity... Actually so far I have not seen the apistos chasing the Green Neons or Rasboras. They only show territorial behaviour among themselves.

    wow having so many apisto in a tank can be quite dangerous, esp with nij in there the bad boys among the apisto group and i'm stating nij and pan both of them are terrors. The Toh brothers told me that their apisto will not mix with the tetra as when the apisto contacted and diease it will wipe out all the rest of the apisto.

    If you want to breed apisto it's still the best giving them a tank of their own. Having more fishes means lesser chance of fry surviving and motality rate will be high.

    Even with a 6footer and many hiding space it will be best putting 2-3 pairs in it.
    Cheers!
