I am looking to enter the world of apistos for the first time and have done a fair share of research, but what better to get answers from individuals who have possibly had/breed them!
I have a fair amount of experience so this is not my first tank but have never tried to breed before ether.
Looking to possibly breed a pair
20 G standard with plants, driftwood and a large sponge filter
So here are some of my questions, thank you in advance for any knowledge you can help with!
-Ive seen that borellii and cacatuoides seem to be a good beginner pair to start of with, but what about agassizii or macmasteri?
-Dither fish or maybe a mid to top fish? Pencilfish or ember tetras, and if not these two what would you recommend?
- Leaving fry to grow up in tank or removing to other tank? (not looking to breed for profit but more to enjoy this hobby)
-ph sits around 7, too high? too low? depending on species hard/soft water?
Anything else that you can suggest that i didnt ask is just a bonus, so thank you again for the helpful responses!
