Apisto Help!

[brown2010]

what are the tips and tricks to getting apisto's to spawn?? im pretty sure i have a pair, but don't seem to show any interest with each other. they don't chase each other away, and they look like a male and a female... but they have been in my tank for about a month now and have not done too much... ph is 7.0 temp is like 80-82. they have lots of hiding places & lots of plants. let me know what im doing wrong.

the pH is a little high, I normally shoot for 6.5 I would also start feeding live foods and for me Daphnia worked wonders.

Water changes with a sightly colder water works when they start to show breeding colors.

To drop your PH put in driftwood.
