Hello,
I bought a pair of A. Agassizii about two months ago from an aquarium superstore near me. The tank's dithers were labelled at the same store as Nannostomus Eques, but after a bit of research I've identified them as N. Beckfordi. Needless to say, I don't really trust that my apistos are Agassizii after all. The male's tail does not come to a point, the pattern is off and he resembles Eunotus Orangeshwanz or maybe even geisleri or emerald anquer more to me. That being said, I'm an apisto noob so I'm not sure at all.
I'm having a touch of trouble getting my GH down. I bought an R.O. filter and started using it 60/40 (40tap) in my weekly changes long before I got apistos. I had it down to 6 DGH (however many ppm 6 drops is) but it's recently (since adding the apistos) gone back up to 11 DGH (11 drops). I thought maybe this was affecting their colouring up, but otherwise they seem happy. They're tail-wooshing lots and the male is doing fantastic vertical displays... I'm very happy with them... but want to know what they are! Any ideas out there?
Thanks!
