Apistogramma Borelli

[kribensis12]

Hello, I jst added 2 borelli to my tank of 2 kribs, 2 brichardi, 1 pleco (sm), 1 tetra which is a 30 gallon tank in all. Anyone know anything about this undermined apisto?

you would be better asking in the New World Cichlids forum. Apistos are South American.

EDIT- also your fish selection is a bit of a mix, cichlids from different continents, kribs are agressive when breeding, if brichardi breed...uhoh! not too sure about borellis though, but my cacatouides were quite similar to kribs when breeding (liked to own most of the tank). just a suggestion, but maybe next time before you buy a fish, come home and research it a bit then go out and buy it.

EDIT- also your fish selection is a bit of a mix, brichardi like an alkaline water, as do kribs, and the apistos like acidic conditions.

not always true, depends on the apisto.
in this case A.borelli like the same conditions as kribs

Are we talking about N. brichardi? If yes and they are a male female pair, it's a matter of time before the other fish are pinned in a small space and stressed out or killed.

I would really hope, these all aren't breeding pairs, or there will most likely be a lot of trouble.

I think that I need to get rid of the brichardi because they are laying a smack dawn on the borellis. My kribs arnt being to nice either.
