Hi all,
Generally the species you see for sale are those from waters with higher base status, generally the softer the water is the more difficult they are to keep. Apistogramma cacatuoides is an example of a species from harder water.
Also have a look at <"TomC's"> and <"ApistoBob's"> web sites, they are really useful resources.
cheers Darrel
No, they occur away from the central Amazon basin in the Pantanal, Llanos and Andes piedmont. Have a look at <"Amazon Biotope">Aren't all Apistogramma blackwater fish?
