appreciate the info. Guess i'll just keep doing what i'm doing.
never thought of using a conductivity meter on fresh, always thought that was a salt water thing.
Made this account in 2005 looking for info on Apisto breeding. Since then I have moved and water parameters are wonky so I was hoping to get experienced suggestions.
PH 6.5 out of tap - 7.6 after gassing off 24hrs.
GH 0
KH 2
My LFS is PH 7.4 with GH 4 and KH 4
With that said I had issues...
ya im not out to make 200 fry every spawn...i would never have the room. not looking to make a buck but would like something nice to sell my local fish store just to help with costs.
sounds very promising now. so much easier when you dont have to become a chemist to keep fish. i hate messing with water parameters.
Z man you were refeared to me by someone on aquabid along with a few others on a possible lead to some finer quality Apistos. might you know of any breeders...
funny you should mention that. i own that book and its been the true reference to state actual numbers but being "wild" fish speciemens i wasnt sure if the water chemistry changed seasonally allowing for spawning to take place at the right time. also location plays a factor in scientific...
PH is 7.6
GH is 10º

many other apistos are int he very low end of these perferring very...
Really out to find a top half of the water centerpiece. some gold gouramies were on my possibility list. maybe ill just stick with them as centerpieces.
Thanks for the reply, sorry for my agrivation. the weekend is the best time for to get on here for any length of time to get information. i had also posted on a number of other sites and sat in chat rooms for hrs on end hehehe. wasnt just here i was failing to get anywhere it was everywhere...
more research ive decide kribs with the agass and caca would be a bad idea and the agass dont like the PH to much.
so i have a new question, if i have a harem of bolivan rams OR caca would they harass the cories when breeding?
