    Would be good to talk about local water parameters and how to achieve the requirements for different specimens. e.g RO, ion xchange, peat, leaves etc. Also be good to touch on the basics of Apisto keepin'. e.g basics like daily or weekly maintenance like water change, feeding, observation, settings etc. Just my 2 cts worth![]

    Some basic qns not in any particular order...just brainstorming:

    1) Will they destroy my plants?
    2) How do i differentiate males & females?
    3) What is their country of origin?
    4) What does apistogramma mean?
    5) Are they suitable for a community tank?
    6) Can a few of the same species be kept in the same tank?
    7) Can diff species be kept in the same tank?
    How big will they grow?
    9) What is the ideal breeding temp of the water?
    10) Are they bottom, mid or top level fish?
    11) Do they need hiding places like caves etc?
    12) What do i feed apistos?
    13) What is the ideal pH of the water for apistos?
    14) What is the ideal parameter for breeding apistos?
    15) How many eggs do they lay at any one time?
    16) The eggs have been laid. What do i do with the parents?
    17) How long will it be before i see free-swimming fries?

    Will write again if can think of more...
