i’ve been keeping africans for almost 25 years.. never checked ph… fish always lived for years, lots of rocks and hiding places and decoy fish… i have a large tank and a school of (cheap) tiger barbs.they chase them and show off to each other but no casualties… i’m no expert but i try to buy at least 2 at a time so there is less pressure on the new guy… sometimes rearange the rocks if they get mean…
love your site… thanx …
one more thing.. i’m total overkill on the filters and keep the water moving.. lotsa rocks means lotsa places for bad stuff to grow..
