I maintain my only remaining tank around 800 Micros with the use of Calcium chloride, potatassium bicarbonate (sometimes sodium bicarbonate as there are no plants currently) and epsom salt.
Wetspot has wild A. cacatuoides from Peru. Would they suffer in the above conditions? I am not a fan of the tank strain versions of A. cacatuoides. I really miss having Apistogramma.
I seem to recall that Peruvian species tolerate harder water, but I could have that reversed. Maybe it was Columbian species. I can't find where I read that. I thought Mike may have said that in regards to A. agassizi.
