Next week I'm getting a pair of wild caught Apistogramma agassizii (from Peru apparently), and my goal is to breed them because it's a recently discovered variant. I don't have any experience with Apistos so maybe agassizii isn't a good idea, but I like a challenge!
My water parameters are: pH: 7.2-7.6, kH: 2, gH: 7, nitrate <10 ppm, temp: 76F.
Is my water too hard/alkaline for this species? Should I even try? I would rather not use an RO system and would opt for leaf litter and peat moss if necessary.
