Well there is several types of apistos... the problem with keeping 3-5 is you need a pretty large tank after a pair forms... I kept a pair of apisto cocatoo in a 10 gallon... I tried keeping two females in there, but once the male paired with one they beat pretty bad on the other.

Almost everything Ive read has suggested 20g to raise dwarfs as a minimum. Its not that they dont fit into smaller, its to keep up water quality.
