Apisto Pair w/ Rams?

[Tihshho]

While getting my plans together for stocking breeding projects I'm trying to figure out non breeding homes for the pairs post spawn when the parents are pulled from their spawning tank. Figure pulling the parents from a smaller tank and moving them to 40's or a 75 (without mixing Apistos) would give them a chance to cool off and fatten up for their next round. I don't plan on keeping the tanks too hot for the Rams that are out of breeding, so 78/79, but just wanted to be sure that a tank with copious hides, some plants and dithers would be OK to keep two dwarf cichlid pairs together.

I dont think so, I wouldn't risk cichlids together, especially not a breeding pair. But hey, its your fish and your choice
