I use RO water mixed with rainwater and it comes out at somewhere between 20 and 30 ppm...........no trouble getting them to breed at these ppms. negative ammonia. nitrites and nitrates with a pH of 5.6. Only been keeping Apisto's for 18 months and they are doing OK.
I am now keeping Apistogrammas for the past 18 months and had success with,Hongsloi, Agassizzii and trifasciatus. Is it correct when I say that differences in temperatures determine the males and females. I say this because out of 22 trifaciatus 21 became female. The temperature I used was 82f.
