Sorry Raf, sometimes when there are a bunch of messages, threads don't get started. My apistos generally spawn in light, but in dark places. I see no reason why they wouldn't spawn in relative darkness. I have had them spawning in room light, with no specific lighting on their tanks. I'd be surprised if they spawned in night-time conditions though. For leaf litter fish in forests, days are probably dark to begin with though.
