starting up two apisto breeding tanks

[Menno]

Hello,

I am planning to start up two breeding tanks for Apistogramma.

The tanks are 74 l and the dimmensions are 80x30x30 cm
I am planning to filter both tanks with an Eheim 2211 filed with a blue spons at the bottum and on top. In between the spons i am planning to use peat (turf)
The bottum will be filter sand and different leaves, woods, coconut shelfs, and a fewsmall plants.

The watertemperture will be set around 25/26 grd. The water will a mix of osmose water and drinking water. I hope to get the pH around 6.

The plans are to trey to breed to diffferent Apistogramma. I like species like Trifasiata and Biteniata

What do you think about my plans? Please give your remarks. Gr Menno

Appears good to me. Both listed species should reproduce under those conditions. Just add some live foods.
