So I just got my hands on a male A. macmasteri "red neck". The store has plenty of juveniles and I am waiting a bit to see if I can find females with less guesswork. I really would like to breed this male but I am not sure what the best route would be. I've kept apistos in my water in a community setting. My parameters are GH 3, KH 6, and pH 7.8-8.2. In these odd parameters, I've spawned blue rams to purple spotted gudgeons. Yes, they are a bit unusual but my water is from a well and it is softened to reduce GH. Now I know that many apistos need acidic and soft water. Perhaps I have soft enough water, but the pH is still very basic and I am not sure if I can trigger spawning in such conditions. Do I need to fix these parameters and if so, what is the safest way?
Moreover, it seems this is deemed okay in the past, but is a 20 Long with proper decoration the right size for a breeding setup of 1 male and 2 females?
Thank you for all your help. It's thanks to this great place that I have finally had some success with this wonder genus.
