Hello,
This is my pair of A.agassizii in a 60lt tank. I keep them at 26-27C with a single neon and otto. Currently pH is 7.3 trying to drop it with peat and very diluted HCl. They have bred 2 times (first at pH 7.9 , second at 7.4) in the back of the driftwood where i didn't want them to breed at all. I don't know if the male can fit in there and do his job properly. Both attempts failed. I'll keep trying to reduce the pH below 7 and remove that driftwood to force her to choose the coconut shell or the Terracotta cup.
I would like to know your comments about the male.. He looks shorter than he should be.. Does his form have a problem you think? Can the stockiness be a sign of sterile?
