Hi, I recently set up a 20 gallon fish tank in which I plan to keep and breed keyhole cichlids, I currently have a group of 5 juvenilles. However I was reading a pfk mag and it said that to breed keyholes succesfully you must have soft acidic water. Is this completly true does anyone have any experiences of breeding them in harder water.
My water in tank:
Ph: 8.2
Gh: 22
The water from my tap is 7.0 which means there must be something raising it in my tank I have:
Normal Bogwood
Slate
Terracotta flower pot
rubber tube (from lfs)
Plain gravel (from lfs)
So what could be raising it from these things? The ph is also higher in one of my other tanks.
