    Help with Apistogrammoides pucallpaensis illness

    Hi everone. I'd like a bit of advice about a sick male Apistogrammoides. I had been raising a pair in a very heavily planted 120L aquarium with various rasbora, tetra, kuhli loaches and catfish. They had been growing both in size and in confidence over 7 weeks, feeding mostly on grindal worms...
