Hi MD, please watch the Apistogramma species closely. I’ve over 10 years of experience in keeping apistogramma pairs in a 60cm tank. Get ready to pull them apart if one of them wants to breed and the other doesn’t. It’s mostly the male who kills the female if he wants to breed and the female will kill the male if she has fry... The Apistogramma hongsloi is not a pairing species, but a harem species. However you won’t be able to keep multiple females in a 60cm tank. For ease of mind, next time go for 1 male with 4 females in a one meter tank :)

I’ve recently got a pair of Borelli in an 80cm and I must admit, the female is much fiercer than I expected. I’ve been keeping a close eye on them as I’m a little concerned shes chasing the male away any time he gets close. Doubt there is fry yet as they’ve been in there less than a week and she doesn’t mind the tetras getting close.

Think I’d be sticking some algae wafers in with 27 detritus feeders! Although in reality Otos have quite a high mortality rate so that number could easily half in a week or so sadly!

Apistogrammas don't necessarily need to be a male and a female. They thrive when the male has a harem of 3 females. Just in case you go back and there are still females left. 😅🤭

This is likely my favourite tank that you've done. It's got a grace to it, and the substrate colour and white background really highlight the plants in a lovely way. Thank you!

I find it heartbreaking to hear the Trilineatus get called "false julii". Theyre an amazing species! I prefer them over the julii

Beautiful! Would love to see a tour of everything. You have so many!

Get some pencilfish as schooling dithers in there!

I notice you keep saying the room is heated so the water temperature is the same. But surely the water will be colder than the ambient air temp? The cichlids, both the rams and the apistos will like it nice and warm. You wouldn't be wearing a hoodie in that room if it was warm enough for them

This aquascape is my favorite so far! Youve given me inspiration and im going to setup a 20 gallon high soon thanks to you!

Another great build! Tank looks amazing! Cheers 😊

Such beautiful fish!!!

Looks amazing MD great job👍

That was a good shop! Tank looks great!

wow! cool fish and great tank!

Hey dude, a word of caution with the Siamese algae eaters and the hongsloi, they really don’t like being bugged by other species and the Siamese are like a raver on crack, would be worth keeping an eye on how they get along. Great series !

Strange, I have been reading that the False Julii can grow to 2". I am currently re-scaping a tank (100cm x 40 x 40), hard scape all done but there seems to be a shortage of plants at the moment. Hoping to go with the smaller salt & pepper corys

Those lemon tetra are a great idea for this tank. You can see them at 4:05

It’s been over a year since you did the reef tank. Does saltwater not interest anymore?
