Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

There was no big changes in ph, only tested it twice. We have really soft tap water so normally ph is around 6, it went up to 7 or so at dry.

Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

Was just about to mix with the water a bit and I saw 3x l-201 babies. :) I think I'm gonna give them few weeks without making any major changes. :) Gonna let the water go dirty by not changing water and see how it goes.

Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

Only 1 more question. If I get 50 ppm from tapwater, can I take the water in the tank to 120 ppm or is it too much for the fishes? If there are l333 babies in the tank also?

Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

I got the following message from my local aquarium shop. Hope my translations wont suck much. :) So from practical reason TDS is to most aquarists same as total hardness since it's been adjusted with the same products. They don't quite get the use of baking soda since it increases alcalinity. Well i...

Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

Thanks again Amin. I will figure out something with the TDS and try to look the weather abit. And I'll transfer those l-201's to the babytank also. You said that the food is one of the 3 main keys. How do you change the feeding during dry / rainy. It's rather hard to figure out whats the right thing...

Re: About dry/rainy season (tips please)

Thanks Amin. I haven't played with TDS yet. The water in here is extremely soft. So I should harden it during the dry season? Is there some good way of doing it instead of chemicals? Coral or something like that? How hard should the water be before rainy season? I tried to look for the weather, but ...

There are 2 or 3 males, 4-5 females and few young ones. New tank layout increased the number of hiding...
