    Hi all, We've talked to some of the scientists working in nitrification, and the consensus seems to be that pH and carbonate hardness...

    dw1305 reacted to Mike Wise's post in the thread Need help with what to do with a lone male Borellii with Like Like.
    I might avoid A. atahualpa, but most others will be OK as a single specimen. I for example have a single male A. sp. Wangenflecken in my...

    Glad to hear from you again! 1. EC under 50microS/cm is a good level for true softwater. 2. 50% weekly until the tank reaches...

    I definitely agree with MacZ. A community tank, especially one that is your size, is not a breeding tank for apistos. Breeding causes...

    Leave the male alone, it will be fine, but do not put it together with another species. A. borellii usually grow to only half to 2/3 of...

    I personally doubt that it was caused by Hexamita because this parasite typically infects cephalic pores. On your fish it occurs where...

    Lots of differences - i find n. eques and n. epesi (quite lovely) hand near the top and are more mellow, n. margarita use the full water...

    Yeah, the second and the last are well suitable, the first one is too bright and has basically no cover. The fact they still stand...

    That change was revised in 2014. It's P. taeniatus and P. kribensis separately again. But I can imagine the confusion this still causes...
