Hi guys

New to breeding apistos. Have a 110l tank and would be great if I could have some advice on the correct way to set up the tank to breeding successfully.

Hi and welcome.

What species are you looking to breed?
Generally, I find sand substrate is best and plenty of caves, though a couple of coconut half's usually suffice! Many females like to re-arrange the cave entrance depth by building up the sand to a point where only she can squeeze in on her side! Remember males do not need to enter the breeding cave to spawn. Other than this some low light plants, maybe some leaves and a small shoal of dithers usually is alls needed. Some species need softer water.... I live in Derbyshire and my water is very hard but I cant stop my Cacatuoides spawing currently lol

Great to see other uk members, where abouts in the UK are you?

Ade.

Welcome, your tank looks real nice, I don't really see anything else you need to do to it.
