Re: apisto temperature needs

Gary,

I've never tried it at that temperature but A. borellii & A. commbrae come from
habitats that get this low in the wild. That doesn't mean that they breed at that
temperature, however. Based on Römer & Beisenherz' studies, I'd expect that you'd
get a wildly skewed sex ratio if they do breed at this temperature, mostly
females.
