Skippy

Assuming you have at least 1 male and at least 1 female given the right conditions they should breed.

Generally most users on the forum use an external hosting service e.g. Flickr and Photobucket and link to the images. If the image is deleted or the account with the hosting service is closed you won't be able to see the images anymore. In this case it looks like the OP edited the post back in 2017 so he possibly removed the link to the photos.

I'm no expert but I would expect eucalyptus leaves to leach a lot of oil I'm not sure what effect that would have on the water's chemistry

I'll follow this topic with interest because I'll shortly be in the market for a 5ft light too. I was looking on eBay earlier today and came across Beamworks, one store selling them currently has 20% on eBay.

Did anyone get along to the meeting? I'm curious how Mo's talks were.

I haven't (knowingly) seen any imported electric yellows in the flesh yet but I did see some imported Labidochromis caeruleus Lundo Island in Labyrinth Aquarium which was something to be excited about.

If they get territorial try moving around the tank decor to break up the established territories

I honestly don't think it matters. It comes down to what you prefer, instant impact vs watching them grow, and what is available to buy

https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2019L00058 Good news for lovers of the ubiquitous electric yellow, finally some new genetics coming into the country (legally).

Apistogramma spp. is listed on the allowable imports list so in theory any species of Apistogramma is importable and available if you have deep enough pockets. https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2018C00775

Australia is also pretty anal when it comes to exporting animals, he wouldn't have been allowed to export them without a permit if it was a native species.

Back to Nature are the gold standard when it comes to aquarium backgrounds. They're not widely stocked in Australia and are eye wateringly expensive Universal Rocks backgrounds tend to be popular too, they are a bit easier to find and not as expensive as Back to Nature. https://aquadecorbackgrounds.com/ is another European brand that makes high quality backgrounds. There is an importer in Australia but they're not easy to find in the flesh. I imported a 5 x 2 background a few years back when I moved home from the UK and haven't gotten around to getting a big tank yet. It's for sale is you are interested

It will work fine as a cichlid tank only difference is you won't need to use the protein skimmer.

Apparently the facebook groups are very active for buying and selling. But from what I've seen the advice side of things and the discussion leaves a lot to be desired.
