Taxon and evidence category
Sulawesi species in multiple tanks — single-breeder environmental record
Illustrated breeder-to-observation evidence tree
Original dated study or breeder account
Baert first-person six aquaria
Actually reported measurements
~28°C, ~300 µS/cm, pH 8.0–8.2, GH/KH ~4, 10% weekly water changes
Evidence interpretation
One carefully contextualized hobby method
Why this is NOT an inheritance ratio
Not universal setpoints for Lake Lindu / all Malili taxa and brand mineral mixing unvalidated Parent sexes, specimen IDs, and F1/F2 genotype-phenotype cohorts not disclosed
Conservation and care boundaries
Do not collect threatened wild populations; require documented captive-bred stock and stable measured conditions, avoid aquarium releases.
