1. Everything I've read so far about taeniatus indicates they prefer soft, acidic water. However, a book that I have by Ulrich Schliewen states: "the Moliwe and Muyuka color forms, unlike the others, dislike acid water values." I live in the Austin, TX metro area, and the water here is alkaline and moderately hard. An R/O water unit is not, for economic and space reasons, an option for me. However, I'v found a local fish shop that sells DI water for a fairly reasonable price. If I mix tap and DI water 50/50, my GH drops down into the 7 or 8 GH level. The PH goes down slightly to about 7.5 or so. Comments will be appreciated.
