I see. Once I had tried leaving some peat inside a net in the tank. But then, I had concluded that there is no or very little water movement to carry out the desired organics in peat's texture and I gave up doing that. However, if the magic word is "slowly" here, than sure this method will...
Hi everybody;
Thanks a lot for the valuable tips. More or less you've pointed out what I had concluded after my experiences. I was thinking to create a breeding layout only for apistos with no live plants, fine sand and blackwater. I only have the agassizii male now. Unfortunately, I could...
I did not have a chance to feed the fry. Actually, I think there is no possible feeding in the wriggler phase. And I was able to see them a little more than 24 hours. I started a batch of brine shrimp eggs, however, by the time the nauplii were present, the fry had gone.

I've great troubles in successfully breeding Apistogrammas. Lastly, I was having 1 agassizii female with a Tefe red back male in my 80 L display tank. Other fish in the display tank are:

by the way: kH and pH
By the way, I want to ask another question to all. I am using reverse osmosis water for my tanks and the kH and GH readings of the water coming from the R/O unit are 0 (zero) according to Tetra kH/GH test kit. I only add 5 mL Seachem Fresh Trace for 80 L once weekly with...
Dear Mike;
Thank you very much for all these valuable information and your kind congratulations.
Just my feedbacks about your notes:
* fine sand necessity was something I noticed unfortunately after deciding to add apistos into my tank. At the beginning, apistos were not planned since...
