Hi guys,
Does anyone here have any experience of keeping Apistogramma Hongsloi (this is the only name I know for them)? If so, I would be interested to hear of your experiences with them. They’ve got some at my LFS and the guy there showed them to me last weekend as they’re such beautiful looking fish and I don’t think they’re especially commonly stocked (not in the places I go to anyway).
The internet has turned up a few bits about them but not a lot compared to most fish.
In an ideal world I would like to keep one male and two females in a community tank along with 4 Rainbowfish and a couple of Dwarf Gourami. Water parameters are good and I keep the temperature at a steady 25 degrees C although my pH is a little high at 8. The tank itself is a fairly low-tech tank of about 33 US gallons with a few rocks, driftwood and plenty of low-light plants which I am trying to grow. I usually do a 30% PWC once a week and feed once a day.
I know that these fish would prefer a lower pH but don’t know how critical this is. I’m also not sure whether one male and two females is a good combination or whether I’d be better off with a pair, or just a male by himself. Any advice is very much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Dan
