Hello all,
A group of people here in South Africa are bringing in some Apisto stock from Europe. I've been looking for apistos for a long time and obviously I'm jumping on the bandwagon.
This is the list of what will be available to order:
A. Iinca ( I assume this is Baenshi Inka)
A.eremnopyge
A.vielfleck
A.wilhelmi
A.Veijita Super Red (wilhelm line)
A.elizabethae super red
A.hongsloi super red (Wilhelm line)
A.sp Pebas Morado
The tank they will be going into has a footprint of 61 x 41cm or roughly 2x1.5 foot.
I am currently lowering my PH and GH using a 50/50 mix of RO and tap water during water weekly water changes(I have very hard water in my area)
I was thinking of buying a group of 6 fish from one of the above species to try and ensure a breeding pair or trio.
Once the breeding fish are established, I'll remove the rest
Can you suggest a fish that will be happy in this size of tank, baring in mind that my PH would still be higher than 4 and closer to 5/6. The tank is heavily planted and I will get some clay pots or coconut shells for more hiding spaces.
They will be kept with 6 Harlequin rasborras, 2 panda cories and a couple of otocinclus.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Martin
