Unless you have asked in another forum, how about some info on your tank?
What are the water parameters? (Numbers please. "Good" or "perfect" are useless)
What and how much are you feeding?
What's your cleaning schedule?
What tankmates are there?
Do you use any additives to the water?
Tank size?
Can you post a recent picture of the fish and a complete view of the tank?
water parametersh 7.0(im trying to get some oak leaves to lower it a bit) the other parameters im waiting to go to the fish store to get them
feeding:frozen brine shrimp,flake food and mosquito larva
cleaning schedule:25% water change once a week
tankmates: 10 guppies they keep on breeding (i know they need higher ph but they seem to be doing fine) ,1 bristlrnose pleco,2 rummy nose tetras (the rest of the school died a few years ago) and a pair of apisotgramma agssizii
tank size: 100 litres
Do I get that right? You have no test kit besides for pH? You might want to invest in your own.
Otherwise: Do bigger waterchanges and think about rehoming the pleco, as they have quite a big bioload.
As I guess we live on different continents I have no recommendation, sorry. Hope somebody else can say something about that.
But you should have at least pH, Nitrates, KH and GH when keeping Apistogramma. I guess test strips are the best alternative for you, those are usually less pricey.
