My concern whenever I finally get the $/space/time to set up my dream tank (180 with cardinals, pencilfish, filamentosa and some apisto is finding plants that can tolerate the low pH and conductivity that would be typical of the native habitats. As I understand there is no true aquatic vegetation but flooded terrestrial plants from many of the blackwater regions. Correct me if I am wrong. Another comment: In a well-planted tank apistos are ANYTHING but shy and will spend a lot of time out front and center.
