Hello !
I have a tank running since 6 month, it's a 80 gallon = 300L, I want to get some apistogrammas but it is hard for me to choose and to find reliable informations about them, I don't want to make a bad choise.
I am using a part or RO water so my parameters are 5 GH 180PPM, I don't mesure my pH i have some wood and leaves, so its is probably a round 6,5 but not more acidic.
In the tank I'm having 16 corydoras panda, 10 tetra amandae (I'm tryin gto breed them to have a bigger group).
Actually in the winter the tank is between 22-23°C (71,6°F to 73,3°F), in the summer it around 26°C (79°F).
In term of fish, I tend to like "small fish" (5cm or 2 inches and not much more). I prefer hardy healthy fish compare to wonderfull colorfull ones but with regulary health problems.
I have some good experience in fish tanks, my maintenance is good and the water parameters will stand still.
I can find in my areas differents apistogramma :
Thanks you for you advises !! cheers.

I can find in my areas differents apistogramma :
- Apistogramma bitaeniata, I'm affraid they won't like my hardness of 180ppm, is it too hard for them?
- Apistogramma hongsloi, are they ok with the winter around 22-23°C (71,6°F to 73,3°F)?
- Apistogramma trifasciata, same question re they ok with the winter around 22-23°C (71,6°F to 73,3°F)?
- Apistogramma borelli, them seems perfect for my parameters, I am not superfan of their look, but if they are the best for me so be it.
Thanks you for you advises !! cheers.
