On the day I was going to move a tank holding 3 "asst." apistos, I discovered I have a pair of A. Bitaeniata. What #$!?#$!! timing! Their water is about 6.6 ph, 100 ppm tds, temp 78, and water changes are done with straight RO to bring the ph and hardness done gradually. Everything I have read says they are a blackwater species which I haven't worked with any blackwater secies before. Do I have to get the ph down farther to have viable fry? Are they a ph affected species as far as male-female ratio goes?
