A. hongsloi from Germany: I bought this pair months ago;
I was very impressed of the colour of the female fish and
the extended fins of the male fish ^.^

For this setup, you don't use ADA aquasoil? This substrate looks like mini eggs. Are they any good?

I think this fish will look even more spectacular if it's in a planted tank. Those we have are are not as red. A far cry.

Cheers,

Nice colours, I like hongsloi, missed my last pair... quite a easy species to spawn actually. It's not ADA soil, I read it sometime back but forgot what, perhaps blueblue can clarify

yesh that is some different soil... looks like those fertilizer bits (like the root monster)

Thanks all. Yes, the substrate is NOT ADA aquasoil. It is a local kind of aquasoil, artificially produced as a small ball. With it, water can be kept soft and slightly acidic. It is more convenient to use and cleaner than the ADA's... price is 25% lower than ADA's.

Good idea and you won't feel regret for it!!

(You know, i have put huge effort in three apistos species for several years:
Eliza, hongsloi, and aggie; Aggie is not challenging to me anymore
(i have kept over 30 different kinds of aggie and i have successfully
bred ALL kinds of it..), hongsloi breeds easily but difficult
to make the F1 as red as the parents, ... )
