I have three pairs of A Baenschi. One pair is in a well planted and with wood 29G High tank with two male platies. (I hope to find pecil fish soon). The other two pairs are in a 40G long with lots of wood lots of java moss and lots of floating plants.
Both tanks have many coconut shells, pots...etc
Temp is around 75F for the 40G long (on bottom shelf) and 79F for the 29G high (mis shelf).
pH is around 6.8 to 7.0 I can't remember exact hardness reading but was quite soft (1-3ppm)
I read two articles one in PF magazine (UK) and the other in dwarfcichlids.com. One article made this fish seem easy to keep and breed ( water parameters are flexible but within limits) and the other made this fish seem very hard to keep.
So which is it...easy or hard?
I want to know so I can plan spawning them...I don't want to realize 2-4 months down the road that this fish requires specific parameters...etc
Any help is greatly appreciated.
