Hello everyone I'm new and I have an apistogramma macmasteri, I got him 6 months ago and we've been learning about each other ever since. While currently setting up a beautiful planted 40 gallon long, I've discovered that I want to recreate a South American biotope. And as I'm branching out in this new adventure I am learning more and more. However you can never have too much information and I like going into things with my eyes wide open. If anyone can offer me any information in assisting me in creating a suitable biotope as well as behavioral information from personal experience I would greatly appreciate it. I got a pair of apistogramma macmasteri Mega Reds however they actually turned out to be Macmasteri golds. We lost the female, and we plan to replace her with two more healthy ladies as I've heard Macmasteri are harems breeders. If anyone can offer me any tips either on plants, Macmasteri Behavior, or breeding they would officially be my new favorite people thank you I'm looking forward to being a member of this forum and I can't wait to meet you all and learn as much as I possibly can.

I recommend watching some of Ivan Mikolji's 'fish guy expedition" videos on youtubes. Parts 17 (
) and 18 are my favorites. Not necessarily heavy on the apistos, some others have more, but gives you an idea of biotopes.

Sweet, thanks a whole bunch. I will watch his videos. I have this image in my mind, and this is pretty close to it. Thanks!
