Adding apistos to an established community

Adding apistos to an established community such as the 75g in my sig, would that be a disaster waiting to happen or could it work? I'm specifically looking at pairs or harems of agassizis and njissenis.

Should work, I don't see any species in your sig that would be aggressive to begin with or to end with. But after the apistos, I would not add much more to the 75 if anything at all.

It could work IMO. My agassizis weren't agressive. Now when they spawn that could all change.

I think you will be fine. They are pretty calm little fish.

I agree except that I need to boost my Emperor Tetra stocking to six the next time the LFS has them in stock.

Also, this is only one of the three plecos permanent home. I'll have a 180 up and running in the next six months and the other two are moving to it to help along the cycle. I figure with a tank that big I'd need something that produced more waste than the normal danio school to cycle.
