Hello
I think my tank is finally ready for my Apistos.
Here is the latest Measurements:
PH 7.6
KH 3.64
GH 7.84
Nitrates 5mg/l (or below, the lightest colour on the Hagen Test)
CO2 2.73
Phosphates 1.5mg/l
Which Apistos would be happy, with this ?
I was hoping to start with cactoides, but I can only find Agassizi in the shops. Is the PH too high for those ?
The tank is a Juwel 96 and I have 1 coconut shell (overgrown with Java moss) and 1 Hollow Bogwood in there for breeding caves. There is also some dense plants on the sides and some open swimming area in the middle.
Other tank inhabitants:
10 Neon Tetras
2 Cherry Barbs
2 Otos
5 Amano Shrimp
1 Butterfly Goodeid (cranky old thing may have to go, he drives my Barbs mad)
Unknown number of Red Ramshorn Snails
I decided against the cories, as some people have said that they may eat the Apisto's eggs. Shrimps should be ok ?
Substrate is Playsand.
Thanks
Sabine
