Hi everyone,
Wanted to get peoples recommendation on what Apistogramma’s would go well in my liquid rock tap water.
it’s around 7.7 ph + 260 ppm hardness (total as CACO3).
Based off my reading I’m looking at white water variants- so most likely cacatuoides, A. borellii, A. trifasciata and maybe A. macmasteri?
I’m looking to long term keep the male in a 50g community, and use a existing 10g as a breeder/grow out for some fry and the female (introducing and removing the male as required) - so ones that could ideally spawn in this hardness naturally would be preferred.
Any recommendations of which fish? - I’d ideally want macmasteri if possible but if that’s not going to work would appreciate any other suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!
