Apistos

[Supersalmon]

I am looking somr information on Apistos (agassizi). Would a group of 3/4 males be happy in a 120l tank with a group of small tetras and 1 bristlenose. I dont want to breed them (I have breeding Kribs in a different tank and they are quite aggressive so want to avoid this) but want a nice display of male apistos. Are they territorial or can a small group of males be successfully kept together?

I wouldn't put that many males in that size tank. What is the footprint of your tank? IME male Apistos occupy quite a large terriotry. However, with no females around they may be less aggressive. But I would stil only go with one, maybe try males of other species to.

yes, you wouldn't want to keep that many males together, of the same species that is
