Hi everyone! I have recently set up a partially filled 20 gallon high blackwater tank...here is the tank;
It needs to cycle, but it is using straight RODI water and has a PH of about 6.5 currently. When it is thoroughly cycled, would it basically be suitable for a pair or trio of ANY apisto, or are there some that would not do well in such soft water? Also, what other dwarf cichlids would do well in this tank? I am thinking of using CO2 to lower the tank's PH if I happen to get a species that wants a lower PH than 6.5, as I've had issues reducing the PH by other means in soft water tanks before. Thanks
