jvision Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 wow.. awesome fish.. thanks for taking those pics for me to see.I really want to try some apistos one of these days, but am not sure the Saskatoon water would be good for them. I would definately need to think about investing in some RO first. Most Apistogramma cacatuoides are tank bred and raised, so keeping and breeding them with dechlorinated tap water isn't difficult. AB water is pretty hard and alkaline - I've even had wild-caught BN Plecos spawn in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
