    Hi there, want to share my mini Apistogramma tank setup. I've the intention of getting another pair from Benny's trip. So will most probably setup another 2ft tank if parents allow. Hehe.

    Maybe fellow apisto collectors can contribute photos of their fishroom. This could be an eye opener.

    Cheers

    Just one proposal: Would you consider having a cover on the tanks
    or lower the water level a bit? Apistos are good jumpers...
    I keep plecos and dwarf cichlids

    lee, have you got a PH controller and CO2 for the tank on the left?
    those are all 5plan 2ft tanks i assume?
    neat way of using one light set for the three tanks!

    Yeah I've heard about jumping apistos. Water level wasn't that high before. Due to the sound of trickling water, i couldn't sleep. And that's why I increase the water level. Thanks, will take into consideration about covering. Do you want to also post your overall view of your fishroom? Think many bros will really be dying to see. Thanks.

    Yeah it used to be a planted tank. CO2 and controller inactive. Occasionally will used the pH controller to check pH. Yes all 5plan 2ft tanks. Wanted to save on electrical bills and space so just one lighting. It's T5 lighting and the light is bright enough to lit up all tanks. But there's a problem in this arrangement. I can't really see the middle tank's other half. Unless the whole arrangement is shifted off the wall, so can go around and view.

    Are those tank dividers inside the two left tanks? Are they for separating the pair after spawning?

    Spot on. But fries are still able to swim through. My misjudgment. Didn't know fries are that tiny. Used netting as partition so that water can flow through.
