Aphyosemion  and these seem pretty nice/available. However, water here
is ph 7.5 and  GH/KH around 8(I'm not sure how accurate my tests were
on this one). Temps  between 60-75....depending on time of year(right
now all my unheated tanks  are at 60ish) I know in the wild they live
in water with practically zero  hardness...so is this too much to ask
of them? If they aren't suitable, any  other species you might
reccomend?

Hi,
 
I have kept several species of A. ogoense/pyrophore and have found them to  
adaptable and not to difficult to breed. They take a variety of water 
conditions  and temperatures well. I would suggest you get eggs or young fish as I feel 
they  adapt better. You can use commercial product to cut  the alkalinity. 
The species A. ogoense Kimono Yellow seems to show up often  and is a very 
pretty fish to start with. Good Luck.
 
Sincerely,
 
Sandy
