Barrie Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I know that the Ph will very for speices to speices but what should I have the Ph set to in my comunity tank in the lounge that will house only Killis? A good medium range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 To get picky if it will house only killies then it will not be a community tank. Most killies like 6.5 - 7.0pH but you don't have to be exact. What is it out of the tap? How do you plan to 'set' the pH? Don't use chemicals to do it. Peat will lower it.

Alan Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 As it comes out of the tap Barrie, and if you use peat in a small box filter hidden away at the back, you'll get a slight tea colouring and your water pH will drop slowly and not too far.

alanmin4304 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I have a 1200mm tank, heavily planted and filled with untreated tap water and they (four varieties of males) are happy as with their tank mates (clown loaches,cories and siamese algae eaters).

alanmin4304 Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I breed them in soft acid water and the difference encourages them to get romantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
