Interesting, Ed!
Maybe I'll go home and turn off all my heaters at
home tonight--the last electric bill was a bit high!
:-):-)
Seriously, though, I guess it's probably ok if
you're not trying to breed them.
I've been eyeing those A. borelli at a couple of
shops recently... If they're really that
hardy, they might be worth a try someday...

One thing I've noted is that we keep most of our dwarf cichlids within
"recommended" parameters and are unaware of what they're capable of
withstanding.
I saw an article recently that stated A Borellii had the furthest south
distribution of any apisto and had been found in water as cold as 50 degrees
Fahrenheit and in alkaline water. I once raised a couple of female
Trifasciata, because of lack of tank space, with a tankful of Cyprochromis
Leptosoma (Lake Tanganyikan) and they seemed to do pretty well in the hard
water. I hardened the water but did not check the PH.
