    Bitaeniata

    About 5 months ago at the last local fish auction I picked up a bag of 4 Bitaeniata's that were fairly small so I was assuming that I'd have at least one male but now as they are all larger I am sure that I have 4 females. I would like to be able to breed these fish but it's rather difficult...

    Low pH and beneficial bacteria

    So from what I've read, beneficial bacteria cannot survive or reproduce at a pH of 6.0 or below. How does this work since Apisto's are kept/live in a pH lower than 6.0? Does the fact that Ammonia is not as toxic when the pH is that low matter?

    Plants

    So I have a number of plants in every tank I have but I'm sure not all of the plants would be found in a typical apisto habitat. If I wanted to recreate a new tank that might closely resemble a typical apisto habitat, what kinds of plants and such would I want to use? I'm sure that it can vary...

    Leaf litter?

    Now that I'm really getting into this I figure I should know this. I see that leaf litter can be fairly beneficial in multiple ways but I guess I'm curious as to what is the best type of leaf to use if there is one? How long would you typically leave them in before changing? And I guess is...
