Hey guys
This is my first post but I've been reading through threads here for a couple of weeks. I have a trio of Ap Borellii and have just come off a week long feed of frozen bloodworm. The male has been courting both females one being more receptive than the next.
The females have divided the tank in two two territories and until a few days ago one would not cross into the others territory and if they did, would retreat when challenged. There is/was a more dominant female (A) who is also the most receptive to the males flaring and appears more brighter in color. However in the past two days the less dominant female (B) seems to have grown jealous of the others color and has started to invade the others territory.
My water params are ph 7.5 and my kh is unknown but I do live in a hard water area but take comfort that others in my city with the same params have had success in breeding apistos. The trio are in a community tank and are the most dominant species in there. Other stocking: Rummynose tetras, dwarf neon rainbows, 2 honey gourami.
Any tips or advice you could give me here would be appreciated. I plan to document the entire thing with pics and a vid and post those here.
