Apisto questions.

I think the tank is too small for them. I wouldn't do less than a 20 for 1 let alone 2.
 
well, I keep breeding pairs in 10s and 15s. I have good luck. I do have wood with alot of plants in each tank and multiple huts as well which helps. A 20 would be ideal, but a 15 is more than adequate whereas a 10 is pushing it.
