Hi All
I’m considering keeping apisto’s in a high tech planted tank. (Co2 injection)
Never kept apisto’s before. Probably looking at borellii as I’ve read that they are not as aggressive as some and perhaps a good choice for beginners.
water is around 11-12 GH/KH
Ph 6.5 - 7.5.
Dimensions - 84” x 24” x 22”
Approx 700l
Fairly heavily planted but also has sand areas and open swimming space.
Will be a community tank with small fish. Currently ottocinculus, cardinal tetra and 3 Siamese Algae Eaters. Other stock being considered are Celestial Pearl Danio and Gold Ring Danio but not fully decided yet.
just wanted to say hi and maybe pick up on some opinions here as this is a specialist site.
so:
Would borellii be a good choice for this tank?
How many and which sex. ie 1m 2f perhaps?
Are there any other fish that would be compatible for the lower level, without crowding the Apisto’s out/causing conflict?
Can you point me to any good material to read up more on keeping these lovely fishes?
many thanks
