I plan on getting fire red Agassizi apistos for my 29 gallon. I haven’t decided on one male vs a pair yet. I’m leaning towards a male to avoid breeding aggression, but the places around me seem to only sell pairs. I may be able to get a single from a local breeder. The tank already has 2 plecos (l236 and clown), 5 Pygmy and 5 habrosus corydoras, a few Amano shrimp, and 6 nerite/5 mystery snails. It’s heavily planted and has an aquaclear 30 hob and large sponge filter.

Most things I’m seeing online is that pencilfish are the best option, but I just cannot get myself to like the look of any of them. I’m lucky that my lfs has a lot of uncommon fish, and has tons of pencilfish. So I even got to see some in person and still did not like them 😅 I’ve seen that tetras can be a good option too, but there’s only a few I’ve liked so far (fire ant, pink lemonade). I like glow light danios but I read they may be too stressful for an apisto. I like some rasboras, but worry they are too small. I already have CPDs in another tank. Any ideas for a very picky person? lol TIA!
