Steals the show
Dear all,
Having finally got my tank set up, I have tested the pH and been remind that Manchester water has a low ph - my tank water is testing at 6.6 -
I am keen to keep:
Neolamprlogus Multifasticus (or brevis if I cant find the mutlies)
Julie Dickfeldi
Paracyps Nignnis
(i have had Neolamp. Bricardi bred before in manchester water....)
what are my options, I'd rather avoid chemical methods of increasing as i guess this will lead to an up and down of pH, - or is this method quite easy
will the fish adapt? will buying locally bred fish (if I can find them) help?
Would a couple of 'bags' (read old tights) of coral side in the filter / tank help?
Any thoghts greatly appricated (eitehr on the pH issue or sources of these fish breed in local conditions...)
thanks,
OTP
ps i am happy with my aquascaping, so would rather avoid cahnging to all coral sand and/or limeston rocks if it could be helped.
