Strawberry Apisto tank set up.

De reden waarom ze aardbei apisto genoemd worden is het rood op de kop. Zowel bij de mannetjes en minder, maar ook aanwezig, bij de vrouwtjes. Ik zie dat bij jou exemplaren helemaal niet

Kijk maar naar mijn foto enkele reakties terug
I see the difference between ours. My fish have more blue in the face than yours, and I thought originally it was a three stripped Apistogramma, Apistogramma trifasciata. I personally believe that the batch didn't develop the strawberry face. The supplier got them from Singapore. Could also be a stress factor. When I took these photos they were newer in the tank and still adjusting. I do keep my tank dark so it could be the lighting as well. Not sure.

Nice looking.

But...
- The Corydoras are really quite big, that is not going to work out for breeding the Apistogramma. Are the catfish still in the tank?
- The substrate is really coarse. This kind of gravel in combination with the mulm from the botanicals might develop fouling areas.
- The hardscape is not working as sight barriers. If I can see through under the rootwood the fish definitely can.

And as stated before the water parameters will definitely not allow for successful breeding.
I have made some adjustments to my maintenance, so I'll keep checking my GH till it's in the right spot. I've dedicated an RODI case for them that I will not be mineralizing. For the corydoras, I've seen some success with other breeders keeping them in there, but if need be I'll remove them.

Wat is vlg jou, Yvonne, de beste keuze?

Yvonne, first of all to help you out, Hanzle indeed is writing on-topic, no dangernof spam). Secondly, many users (excluding me, but including him, seemingly) use auto-translator tools. So the problem is limited to older machines and browsers. On a recent computer with that tool activated you wouldn't even notice.

It is not bothering me Hanzle, I am just using Google Translate and it working. I appreciate your help.

Het maakt mij ook niet uit.
Meestal weet ik wel wat r betekent wordt....ik weet iig hoe ik iets tik maar niet hoe het aan de andere kant aankomst maar die weten wss ook wel wat r betekent wordt.
Heb recent een duitse kweker gesproken en die wist ook van een hele blauwe eremnopyge. Had 3 mannen, vd 7, die ook het rood miste. Nieuwe, andere, soort? Andere vindplaats?

It could be, the supplier got them from purchased them in Singapore. But all of them had more blue than red. I am assuming it was a breeding thing. It doesn't bother me, I love them!
