Melbourne_Bill Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi keonThe optimal water conditions for the solousi and lombardoi are hard and alkaline while the others like somewhere between soft acidic and neutral not too hard.The kribensis, thomasi and Apistogramma cacatuoides would probably live happily enough together.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keon9 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 thanks bill,I have had all my africans in together for about 6 months without a problem, so if I add the dward apistogrammas will this be ok???thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Keon, If the kribensi and thomasi are surviving ok with the P. Saulosi (or is it A. Soulosi ? whichever one, doesnt matter) & P. Lombardoi, then the Cockatoo dwarfs will probably be ok as well. Even though they may all survive ok together, they will not all be totally happy with the conditions you are providing.Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 No i dont think it is a good idea putting Apisto, with africans like saulosi ect ect...cos as bill said the water conditions are diffrent and apisto like a lower PH "6.8" as africans like a 7.8 PH.
