Apistogramma baenschi

I have an opportunity to buy some Apisto. baenschi and I am looking for some breeding information from some of you people that have personal experience with this species.
I know that they are similar to A. nijsseni and A. panduro. According to some of the information I have read, the Panduro's pH and water hardness requirements are not as strict as those of A.nijsseni, and I was wondering where, in the scheme of things, the minimum breeding requirements of A.baenschi would be found ?
Thanks in advance for any and all information

i have bred Inka (A. baenschi) many times. The requirements are
just the typical requirements for most apistos:
Soft water, pH around 6.0-6.5, temperature of 27 degree C,
normal feeding with bbs once or twice a day. I only use a small
tank (about 18 liters) for a pair of Inka. As a remark, both the
wild-caught and tank-bred Inka will breed quite easily... ^.^

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
