illconceivedart Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hello, I recently got 11 Celebes Rainbows that I'm currently quarantining. They are about 1inch so far. My plan is to put them in a newly scaped 20Long. It will be planted with driftwood. Seeing as they get from about 2-3inches as adults, is a 20long still ok for long term housing? Or as they reach maturity will I need to get a larger setup? I was also flirting with the idea of housing them with a pair of Apistos (cockatoos). Does anyone have any suggestions on scaping the tank? I know they like planted tanks but also need a lot of open swimming space. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I think that’s a perfect size tank for a group of Pseudomeugils. I think that they’d do fine with then apistogramma. I have luminatus and I use a lot of stems including mermaid weed, ludwigia and some pearl weed as well a crypt spiralis and Rubin sword. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illconceivedart Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks Beardedbillygoat! Yea, I plan on using stems and some swords. Is there anything to consider when scaping for Apistos? I know they are bottom dwellers. I dont plan on trying to breed or anything, but want to scape it for their best comfort. I'm doing a dirted tank capped with sand and larger pebbles/rocks around driftwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
