    Breeding Borelli

    I have 2m/3f tank right now with Apistogramma Borelli. When they breed will the other family come and eat the other famly's fry? I have heard stories there are very peaceful towards one another. And they will get along great. Has anyone experiences otherwise or heard other stories? thanks

    Reverse Osmosis

    Hi, I was thinking about getting distlled, deonized, or R/O water. Will R/O water put my PH at neutral ? If not what can I add to bring it down to neutral. Also will these make the water soft? thanks

    Deoinized water

    I was going to buy distilled water and add back hardness ( but keep it really soft) then my water would turn out around neutral, which would be perfect for my borelli. I saw this sheap deionizer kit that attaches to tap. Would this be just fine instead of going to buy distilled water?
