    A.Borellii pair?

    68-72 in the winter, and 76-82 in the summer seems perfect for borellii....not sure how the cardinals will feel about the winter time low temps though. Heck, with AZ weather, you could almost keep them outdoors

    What are the water requirements for breeding hongsloi ?

    Many female cichlids will eat their spawns in the presence of what they deem to be a threat. Better for them to recycle the nutrients than risk someone else getting the meal. If the goal is to reproduce them, probably best to remove potential predators....

    Tank mate for apistogramma borelli

    Is he larger than 1.5cm? If yes, he is mature enough

    What are the water requirements for breeding hongsloi ?

    Wet....kidding/not kidding... Mine were never too picky about water. Similar gh/kh/tds, pH 7.4 Anything in the tank that she might think could eat the babies? Are we sure the M & F are both hongsloi?

    Help Liquid rock - suitable variants

    If you'd like to make life easier on yourself, use the 50 as the breeder tank, and let the male use the 10 should he need a time out.

    Female Apisto agression

    Seems normal. IME atahualpa are kinda mean to each other. I was unable to keep 2 females in a 36" tank with 6" of leaf litter

    Does anyone know the identification of my agassizii

    This seems super interesting to me. I don't see any deformed scale rows in the OP's picture, what criteria are you using to determine it is a cross? Expand my mind.

    Agressive male apisto

    That 20 long is "his" house. Females that are willing to breed will be tolerated....females that are not may be evicted. Good advice above ^^^

    Normal Male Behavior?

    I'm sorry. I sort of skimmed after the first sentence. If hes not at the top of the tank from being displaced, hes there because hes headed down the path of the 1st male. Sorry :(

    Normal Male Behavior?

    Time to pull him. Seems the other male has claimed the entire tank as his territory.

    Does anyone know the identification of my agassizii

    No issues "breeding"....the issues come from the deformities in the fry. :(

    Does anyone know the identification of my agassizii

    From the "net" like pattern I see, I'd cast a vote for A. cf. agassizii "netz". What location, we'll probably never know.

    elizabethae female?

    Generally speaking, females will have bands on the entire tail. Males will usually only have pattern on the bottom half of the tail

    Water Changes - planted tanks

    Your water is most likely perfectly fine as is. Without digging for old books, cacatuoides is found in nature, in water with a pH close to or above 8 often.

    Do hongsloi require special water condition for the eggs to hatch ?

    2dHK, 2dGH, 7.2 is as high as I had successful spawns from mine. When in doubt, soften the water
