Is there any remote chance to breed A. nijsseni in this water? These are the only apistos I could get actually in my city. I am offered three unsexed fish (U$18, shipping included). I supposed they are juvies, haven’t seen them yet. (No cac ladies for my beautiful still single cac male).
pH 7.4 (very stable) (too high I am afraid)
GH 3.5 (63ppm)
KH 2.5 (45ppm)
Conductivity 338 µS/cm (225ppm-169ppm) (Ions other than Ca+2, Mg+2and CO3-2 should account for this ≈100ppm difference, I suppose).
(The water company claims to use lime (not sure of the translation from Spanish) (CaO) to rise alkalinity after water treatment. Wouldn’t that be reflected in higher KH/GH values?)
I have a dense leaf litter, wood, plants AND I will try the microenvironment PLITC technique (“Peat Loose Inside The Caves” by Ted/Mike) (!!).
