WildfyreTV Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Hey, Yesterday, I introduced 6 albino corydoras into my 33gal with my female apistogramma panduro. As a solo female, I was told multiple times that she wouldn't be too bothered by tankmates. However, she has been chasing the cories anytime they go near her 'territory' which is a large portion of the tank. She will even go to the other side of the tank to try and nip them sometimes. I have tried rearranging the tank, moved her cave to a completely new spot, but she is still quite aggressive towards them. I know this kind of early to ask these questions, as they probably do need time to adjust, but I've been seeing a lot of contradictory sources. Some people keep cories with breeding apistos in tanks even smaller than mine, but some say apistogramma shouldn't be kept with any other bottom dwellers, even when not breeding. Do I just need to give them more time? Or should I take the apisto out and replace with something more peaceful like a ram, or even more cories? I don't have any other tanks to put her in, I would need to find a new home or possibly return her to the fish store. I am quite attached to this fish, but I have wanted corys for ages and I don't want the stocking options of this tank to be limited by one fish.

WildfyreTV Posted May 8 Author Report Share Posted May 8 Maybe I should move the apisto into quarantine for a few days? To let the corys settle in and maybe rearrange the tank a bit more before putting her back, so its her going into their 'territory' not vice versa? johnbetta and FighterFishClub 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Panduro are cranky. Not likely to change her behaviour. johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildfyreTV Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 Thats what I worry. I already have moved her into a qt tank, is it worth a try at all? I don't know what I would do with her, or where I could rehome her. johnbetta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbetta Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 i wouldnt try again for the sake and well being of the other fish as gingerbeer said the ciclide is agro at the best of times so respectfuly it isnt wise to try again may be better to re home the fish and may be try with a more camer childe that would be your best bet WildfyreTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildfyreTV Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 That seems to be the right thing to do... I don't know where I would rehome her to though. Just put up a gumtree ad? I would return it to the store I got her from, but I do want to make sure it goes to a good home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
