So, as a final question, do you think that the tank is ok for a pair of A. Borellii, with minor modifications (read : fish sandbox). I do really want to house a borellii pair in the tank later on.
OK so I think I know the subspecies now, its Cf. Agassizii Netz, the likeness is rather obvious to my fish, anyone have care info for Netz?

UPDATE : I think it might actually be A. pertensis or A. gephrya, though TBH, not like it matters much, I might as well have picked up an Agassiziis complex freak of nature at my LFS.

To be detailed the pea gravel Im using is carib sea super naturals one one side, and the aqueon on the other.
Now, I still want to know if anyone has a good heater for a 10 gal, anyone know one?
Also I finally was able to get some good pictures that are in focus, even better, the dorsal fin is up.
So in my area it has been raining large amounts and it is rather average rainwater, I intend to do a 60/40 mix rain with tap water and seeing as I will have to do only 1 gal a week, I think I could handle it.
Does anyone have any tips about rainwater collection, and keeping it clean.
Also, any...
So it seems the conversation is drying up, so i'll try to finish it so we can get a final verdict out of this.
I have probably 3 options
Finish setting up the ten gallon on the cheap (no light, sponge filter, small heater)
try to re-home the Iniridae to someone with an r.o unit that can care...
I actually have a partially set up ten Gallon that I intended for breeding a borrellii pair if I got them. The main reason I got the iniridae, is since I'm near allergic to breaking a deal (bit of context, I called the store about getting a shipment of borellii, they couldn't find any borellii...
Its definitely not trifasciata, the fins don't match up and it's more laterally compressed, and irl its a dull cobalt blue mostly, not like trifasciata
He has bitten the gourami lightly a few times, I've only had him for a day now and he already took his territory under the (fake) stump, only when Larry goes in his territory he nips. Would you say that possibly using hornwort to partition the tank (its so dense) could help with any aggression
So here's a pick of the Iniridae, he was sold to me as a boy and has blue coloration on his face and a yellow dorsal fin, hope it helps with deciding. Secondly, I live near philly, and we have rather hard and basic water (7.4 150ppm) and the fish was bred locally so I think the ph is fine (I...
Hello, I have a 37g tank (30w 22h 12 d) and I am wondering if keeping a pair of A. Borrelli with my Iniridae male is viable. My tank currently has 1 dwarf gourami, 6 Colombian tetras, and 5-7 Colombian tetra fry (completely accidental, I take it as a sign that I'm doing my job right). my tank...
Hi, I made this account because I recently got my first apistogramma cichlid (A. Iniridae) and I have also whished to keep some other species (notably A. Borellii) and I want to just know more about care. I'm relatively new to fishkeeping, my first true setup (I've had bettas and goldfish in...
