Hello Per, I got really interested in the idea you used for your tank - the shallow zone made of styrofoam (?). could you give some more details? how did you mount it in the tank? How did you keep sand from slipping? what was below the styrofoam (empty space/"cave"/some filter?). would be great if you had some photos. and most of all - you mentioned the apistos were mating there and the young swam free with the parents - that's my dream! how did you feed them? any special arrangements or just small food for parents and kids alike? If you would like to describe it thoroughly - from start to finish, mentioning advantages and disadvantages - I could translate it and post on our website as "Apistos Per's way" how do you like it? :-) BTW - thanks for your compliments on the website - it's a joint effort of a few apisto maniacs from all over Poland. If you took the map you could pin Szczecin, Zielona Gora, Gdansk, Rzeszow, Krakow, Wroclaw, Warszawa... we never met in real :-) we started quite all right, but now are a bit stagnant... so the English version is not likely to appear soon. Looking forward to your reply.
