Hi all,
I have questions regarding to the lost of apistogramma atahualpa I recently got. I got three 6 wild of them last Friday and lost 2 female in two days. (It seems I will lost 3rd female today) They looks fine when they arrive, and I put them into their own tanks carefully. My ph is about 5.5-6 and TDS 100-150. However, the female I lost got hollow belly, looks weak and can't swim well before they die. The remaining male I have looks active and health. I do more research online and I am guessing I make a mistake which I should put them in even lower PH. The female I lost are weaker and can't make it in higher PH water. Is my assumption correct?
I haven't lost any apistogramma like this way. Please feel free to give any advice or comments. Thanks!!!
