hello from Argentina

[eljonche]

Hi buddies, nothing to forgive my English.
My name is Sebastian, I'm from the city of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina.
I am hobbyist since age 11, after having raised betta splendens for 5 years, I decided to dabble with dwarf cichlids
I am holder of a apistogramma borellii are fish native to the region where I live and want to share with you
my experience with them is very poor so I need your help to keep the best, and also logical to recreate their natural habitat, the specimens that I have made up one male and three females, soon I'll upload pictures of them, of course thank you very much for letting me post on this wonderful forum. regards

Hola and welcome amigo! Did you collect them from wild habitat? If they are getting sick within the first few days, then maybe it is because of collecting stress. When I collect wild fish in USA in very soft, low-conductivity water (such as Enneacanthus sunfish) I usually add some salt in the collecting bucket so they are less likely to get bacterial and fungal infections over the next few days.
