Master Photographer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’ve been searching for some dark blue pinoy angelfish, but have yet to see ones that I like. Let me know if you come across any. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Sweet! What dimensions is your 90 gallon going to be? You may have an issue mixing rams and apistos. Depending on the species, some apistogramma don't do well in the same temperature as rams. Rams generally like to be kept warmer. I run mine at 82-83° F. On top of that, rams may be a bit more aggressive. Make sure there is plenty of area for both species to claim and have plenty of breaks in their line of sight. What do yall think?

Lolo8234 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Thank you so much I was thinking a rock grotto with dense plants mixed and does anyone know any apistograma species that would get along with Rams and my tank is gong to be 48x24x18 Edited July 15, 2020 by Lolo8234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are generally hardier compared to other species. Those dimensions are a good space for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo8234 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I was also thinking of adding a couple of hillstream loaches later on when the tank starts growing algae would they do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Ooooh, I do love those, but I think they wont fit with my low current warm water plan. Maybe I need ANOTHER tank...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo8234 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 This is going to sound stupid but do you think I could add wild bettas like Imbellis I’m with my angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt do it. Most wild bettas are best in species only tank. Though more common, betta imbellis typically arent as peaceful as the internet says and may nip fins. They also wont do well in a tank that large competing with other fish. They show off nicely in a planted 10 gallon with tannins, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo8234 Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 Oh ok thank you I had a 10 gallon and I was going to look for some annual killifish but I can’t find any cool ones so I will prolly do that if I put the wild bettas in the 10 gallon how many can I put in one male or a pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add some floating plants to the top to give it some shade, too. I've found they color up best with lower light, so adding leaves and wood that release tannins along with the shade of floating plants make them look really nice. They're a fun little tank to have. You may even get fry out of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ellsworth Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 There are some great fish on that list! But, I'm concerned about possible agression. With angels, rams, Apistogramas, etc. There maybe issues with agression if they start pairing off or if the barbs/tetras get nippy. I haven't kept rams or Apistogramas yet due to my massively hard water, so maybe others can chime in here about that. You could split your list up into several tanks and they would be amazing.
