I'm seriously worried about both you and Ed😵...firstly Ed doesn't know what a girl looks like (ref Al's Chocolate Lake)😕 and now you have fish forcing you to do stuff😱...
I think you both need to get out more😛

This doesn’t do my hankering after apistogramma any good… really gorgeous little fish.

Great looking fish, I'm another victim of the Apisto-curse, and pics like those only make my affliction flare up more...

Hi Big Tom, love this scape. Can I ask where you position the plants growing above the surface? Do you remove all compost from them? Do you have all the roots in the water or just part of them? I'd like to try some plants in a similar way and would appreciate any advice please?
Thanks Wendal. Yes, the riparians are all bare rooted - I wash all the compost off and then just wedge them into the hardscape. Most of the roots are submerged, but I keep the crown of the plant out of the water. They generally take a couple of weeks to adjust (and some seem to go through a root melt and regrowth process).

Hi all,
Bob Wiltshire says they aren't too difficult (most macmasteri complex Apistogramma are relatively trouble free), and he is a pretty good source. <"Apistogramma hoignei - Dwarfcichlid.com"> (Profile added 30th January 2015).

Just gorgeous. I've only ever seen pictures before and nothing with that intensity of colour, these look fantastic.This is the pair of hoignei that forced me to buy them all, although they're in their own tank for now.

Yeah I wasn't expecting too much to be honest when I saw they were coming in, but as soon as I saw the big male I had to have them. The 'beta' male is pictured in my post from this afternoon and is colouring up rapidly as well. Reasonably sure I got 3m:3f as well, which is nice.
Still want some guttata!
