Advice for keeping Apistogramma

[taygu]

Hi guys,

I need all advice from experienced Apisto keepers.

I used to keep Apistogramma and tried to breed them but never succeed . I always end up with the fish having swollen eye or swollen stomach and rasie scales.

I had given up on keeping Apisto but seeing all the beautiful fish again, it had kind of rekindled my interest.

Hmm.. why don't you give us an idea of how you used to keep them? Perhaps you can share the following with us:

01. Tank size
02. Bioload
03. Species combination
04. Diet
05. water chemistry
06. Water management
07. Filtration
08. Decorations

Pop eyes are usually a sign of bad water as is dropsy (raised scales with bloated stomach).

Cheers,
