Yes, I have a A. cacatuiodes pair in with 4 x Ancistrus and 1 x Panaque.

FF also does it as well, or at least has done.

Do it, I love Apistos, great little fish.

I do indeed keepp them both....now that im trying to breed both i keep them separated...remember they are both cave spawners and things could get a little tricky. i lost a big male aggie once from going into a male L260s cave. The L260 came and battered the intruder to death.

If you want to try and have harmony may i suggest using caves with very small holes for the Apistos for example half a coconut shell with a 12mm hole drilled into it.
