The double red Apisto pair is stunning in the tank. They stay active and colorful even after a few months. I keep them with peaceful tetras and they don’t fight. Water parameters are stable now, and they seem happy.

Great fish to add color to a community tank. They are active and show off their red markings well. I did need to monitor pH closely at first, but now it’s stable.

I bought a pair and they’ve been thriving for over six months. The red color is vivid and they swim together nicely. I recommend them for those who want bold, attractive fish.
