While I know it’s not related, I’ve been debating on getting either green neon or ember tetras for a future tank and was wondering if you had any preferences between the two. I’m sorry to hear your GBR pair died.

Are there any algae eaters that would be fine with apistos. I’ve heard Apisto borellis are peaceful and don’t harm tankmates. Can anyone confirm that?

I’m thinking of doing a school of green neon or ember tetras and either a Bolivian ram or an Apisto (probably cacatuoides). Are there any kinds of apistos that do better than others in community tanks? Also, do you guys think I could do a pair of the cichlids because there wouldn’t be any other...
