Re: A.hongsloi



Ken,

Dr. Staeck collected this fish in streams outside of Puerto Ayachuco, Venezuela. There he measured the following conditions:

Date 31 July 1989                              Time: 11:00 a.m.
Air temperature: 32º C (89.5ºF)                Water temperature: 25.5ºC (78ºF)
Conductivity: 10 µS/cm                         Total & Carbonate Hardness <1º
pH 5.5

This fish can be spawned in moderately soft water (~6ºdGH+dKH) with dKH <3º with a pH about 6. It can be maintained in harder, slightly alkaline water, but with  no viable eggs. Hope this helps.
