Re: Algae
I also breed Bristle nose and keep a few in my large Zebra tank for just that reason. They do not bother anybody and keep my 108gallon spotless. They stay 4" or less too. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: any tips on how to lower ph natural in a tank ??
7.5 is not bad at all. What is your hardness likeÉ The safest way I know to lower ph is with an external filter full of Peatmoss. You will also get a tea color too. ![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/idea.gif)

Water to soft.
I know I should not complain but my tap water is to soft. From tap it is 6.5 ph and no readable carbinates at all. Very close to rain water and does not change over the seasons. I would like to know what others do to bring UP the hardness.

Re: any pics of what a pregnant female zebra looks like?
