We set up a Rio Meta biotope with Alan Albiach
Information about Apistogramma Macmasteri
CLASSIFICATION
Order: Perciformes Family: Cichlidae
DISTRIBUTION
Known only from the Guaytichia and Metica river basins, upper Meta River system, Colombia.
SPECIES SIZE
Male: 5.5 cm | Female: 4cm
In this setup we will see the feasibility of a 40x40x40 cm aquarium, approximately 50 liters.
MAINTENANCE AND ASSEMBLY OF THE URN
A more natural looking arrangement could be beneficial for a pair of Apistogramma Macmasteri , they will feel like they are in the wild.
This natural look will consist of the use of soft, sandy substrate with roots and wooden branches placed in such a way that many shadows and caves are formed.
The addition of dried leaf litter (ketapang beech, oak or almond leaves are all suitable) would further emphasize the natural feel and thereby bring the growth of beneficial microbial colonies.
The leaves can be left in the aquarium to decompose completely or removed and replaced every few weeks.
In this case, we have used:
In this project we have also used:
MulchBed recreates the natural layer of wood that covers the forest floor or river bed. It is a carefully selected mixture of bark, roots, branches, small pieces of wood, imitating the wood-based organic matter that occurs naturally in natural habitats.
The selected materials have the unique characteristic that once flooded, they will remain at the bottom of the aquarium and will not decompose for years.
Stunning grass-like background plant
Very thin and long stems.
Very popular in aquascaping.
