Fish For A High Ph?

[jamieneaves]

hi, i live in an area with pH around 8.2 and am really struggling to find fish that are suited to that kind of water apart from rift valley cichlids! does anyone know any other fish out there - not too large as my tank is only 84cmx30x30!

thanks alot, Jamie

I believe Malawi Cichlids prefer higher pHs.

thanks, sorry meant to say that i wanted to move away from malawi and tang cichlids, ive had neolamprolugus for a while and am struggling to cope with the amount of fry they have ! and im not sure there are many malawis that would fit in my tank size

synodontis multis could do well

they live in lake tanganyika and prefer higher ph ... only problem is they r expensive... and they get quite big .. 5 inches is my biggest..

i keep em in a 110 litre 3 foot long tank, so you could get em..

duno what you would do about the middle of the tank
