Minimum GH for Zebra
Posted: Thu Nov 04, 2010 8:20 am
Hello to everybody from Ukraine,
Would be grateful for your comments on tyhe following question.
Going to set up a tank for zebras and considering the possibility of keeping crystal red shrimps with zebras. Ive been keeping these shimps in a small tank with gh 6 and t about 28 and they are doing quite well.
So, for CRS the most important thing is to keep the GH of the water at as laws as possible, well, 5 would seem the ideal to the best of my knowledge.
As far as know about the natural habitat of zebras their original water GH is much lower - about 2.
On the other hand very often I read the warnings that too low GH would result in a bad health and some under-development of the fish.
Therefore I have a question - what would be the minimum acceptable GH of the water for zebra tank?
Thank you very much for sharing your experience)
