WOW. That is really cute. Are apistos hard to take care of?

Yes and no. In a planted tank, they are easy as they require the same environment for growing plants. With my Co2 injection, my PH is slightly acidic and my water is soft. Perfect for apistos. They perfer "clean" water. The downside is they normally live 2-3 years. They readily eat just about any food you put in the tank. I love them.

Correct. My favorite cichlids used to be shellies but after I got some apistos, I changes my mind
