    New 38g community Apistograma setup progress

    Hi yes this particular filter has been established for over 6 months with the orandas, it was placed in an aquarium that has been established for over 4 years joining another canister filter. The wood rocks and plants were in the 55g for two weeks, the tank and substrate are new along with the...

    New 38g community Apistograma setup progress

    Hi all, so last month I posted my interest in possibly setting up a 38g planted community aquarium with possibly a single Apisto. Here’s my “little” write up of the progress :) Okay so I already had an established 55g Oranda aquarium with two canister filter. However tired of constant water...

    Apologies I’m new to the site and couldn’t delete, I reasoned the question in a different sub forum but the replies came through on this thread.

    New to Apistos, 38g setup

    I really like the idea of having a small school of Pygmy corrys, I’m doing as much research as possible before I get around to building a setup around the fish. Hopefully there’s enough floor space (31”x16”) to mix it up a little and then I can stick the upper levels of the aquarium. It...

    I’ll avoid Pygmy’s and look around at some of my local lfs to see if I’m happy with the apisto alone..they have some nice display tanks at some of the locations. If I feel the aesthetics could benefit from corys I’ll add first..like you said it usually works out better. Once the scape is done...

    Thank you for your reply much appreciated, yes the ottos were added to my list primarily as algae control but also as and additional dither fish. I will definitely take your advice on the plant life. I will check the hardness of the water, I have an established 55g with Oranda, I am closing...

    New 38galllon stocking

    Hi all, I currently in the process of setting up my new Apisto “based” aquarium. I am not looking at the setup as a breeding prioritised aquarium however I do like to see the fish showing their full character. So the base tank is 31”long x 16” deep x 18” high = 38gallons…ish. Ph is 6.7 straight...
