I currently own a really nice pair of the lovely Apistogramma ortegai. I am trying to find information as in how their biotope would look like. Sadly i can't find any information on their catch location or on there biotope. All the information is welcome.

Most apistos are found in waters with very few plants. Still, I imagine they are happy with the planted community tank, but realize it isn't a true breeding tank.

beautiful fish and tank :)

I love apistogramma and planted tanks. Although the two do not usually fit together "naturally" one way I found to address this problem is to make a riparium with terrestrial plants above the water line :D
