    Hello everyone, I am currently planning a soft water aquarium for an Apistogramma and some tetras/pencil fish. The aquarium will have a capacity of around 180 liters and a base area of 100 cm x 40 cm. As I would like to achieve a black water look, I am wondering whether my plan is feasible. I...

    Questions regarding softwater tanks

    Hello Apistogramma Forum, I’m new to the community here, although I was a silent reader a few years ago. Due to various life circumstances, I had to put my aquarium hobby on hold for several years. Now I’m finally returning and have set up a 180-liter aquarium (100 × 40 × 50 cm), in which I...
