Subtropical apistos?

Well, are there any that are readily available? My tank ranges from the low sixties to the low seventies over the course of the year, and I want to know if any apistos would do well in such conditions. If this helps, the tank is a 29 gallon, has a ph of 8, a TDS of 173, and a heater would be used to breed them.

A. borellii and A. trifasciata are found in subtropical regions with water temperatures in winter below 60F.
You may want to lower the pH in your tank though, otherwise it will negatively affect the long term health of the apistos. Try to get it below 7 and you should be all good to go.
