I have a tank that size with a solo male apistogramma with 8 glowlight tetras. I might get a mate for my apisto in the next few months. They stay pretty small, so that tank size is fine for them. They are quite stunning & fun to watch. My personal favorites are bettas though. If you’ve never had one, that is one to consider. They have so much personality & they recognize you & not just following a human because human = food, but like they follow YOU. My betta responds differently to me than he does to my husband & kids. They all say he dances and gets more excited when I approach his tank. It’s the cutest thing. 🧡

I agree with you. OP should get a pair of one of the more rare apistos and try breeding them. Nothing too rare, just not the common cacatuoides or agassizii. Something like a Baenschi pair.

That would be cool. They are so fun. If I had enough room in my house (and the funds, lol), I would have multiple tanks with different types of apistos. They’re so cute. I love how they hover around like little helicopters. ❤️

How they hover and then when they go in for a landing their fins pop out like blades for landing gear! Love that too!
