I am using peat Granular by the brand Papillon. their website is www.papillonpet.de . Or when the shops run out of sto0ck I will us Aquarmuster`s brand.
The papillion brand`s peat is much superior it does not stains the water as much.
Not really true . I have been using that for many years now . Etc. p.h straight off my tap is about 7.2 ~ 7.4 . I run it thru peat granular for about 2 hours it would bring the p.h all the way down to 4.0 .
The method i use is simple I have a spare 20g tank which I use to harvest peat water...
Hi there I asume that you are talking about water conditioning. First all did you do the water measurements form the water in your tank or straight of the tap. Your water condition seem to have a high p.h. But first before you can start treating it why don`t you let us know what sort of filters...
This has been a very interesting method that i have been using to urge my fishes to spawn .
If any pairs has no activity for some time I would do a large water change ( about 70 ~ 80 % ) . An interesting fact is that it wil trigger most females to spawn . I don`t use R.O water just peat...
Well I should only say beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder .
To me every Apistos are beautiful . Each is as unique and special as others .
Cheers mate

They are house in different but the temperature is kept at a...
Yup ! some spieces do grow much faster than some .
My Apisto. Steindachneri frys grow at twice the speed/size as compare to my apisto. Nijsseni & Apisto. Rotpunkt frys.
I have them . They are also know as thick lips apistos . My variant has very nice thick orange coloured lips . I keep a pair in a 60 liters tank with a small clay pot & a 2 inch pvc tube. not really heavy planted just a nana and a java fern toed to a bog wood . As for their water p.h I keep at...
mine too the female spawn at slightly less than an inch in length about 30 small ones now in my tank . My diet for them is frozen blood worms , brine shrimp and tetra bits for discus .
Recently my borellii spawn but I did not notice till i was about to do water change , saw small fellows wiggling around .
What suprise me was that more babies follow the father around only about 10% follows the mum . Well is this normal ?
Cheers
I have house before different batches of young apisto. Rotpunkts , Inkas , Nijssenis , Wilhelmis , Steindachneris and Caca`s in 8 gallons before . They are fine so you do not have to worry .
They were kept in bare botom tanks with just some Java moss and 2 Ottos . filtraton was just a simple...
Try live brine shrimp , most apisto`s can`t resist that temptation . 10 gal might just be a tad too small for 2 pairs . Once they have settled in the dominant male will sure to harrass the other male . One way to prevent fights in a small tank is to over-crowd them . Try throwing in another 2...
