Apisto. Hongsloi

[LeviathanGirl]

I picked up a pair of these at a local auction last sunday along with a pair of gold Apisto. Cacatuoides 'tripple red' and several other fish. They are very cute and are doing well in my fishroom. I've dug around on the net and found some information on them, but was wondering if anyone in the group could give me some information from their own personal expierience.

Thanks,

hongsloi is a robust apisto... it can grow to quite a big size and it seems to take a bit longer time to attain the maturity. Keeping hongsloi is nothing difficult and even beginners can easily breed it in the aquarium. Water parameter is just the same as most apistos: soft and acidic (5-6) even though a pH of 7 is also fine...
