crazyzoo Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thank-you for the suggestions-will these fish tolerate the high pH and aggressive nature of the fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I wouldn't have suggested them if I didn't think they would I have bristlenoses breeding in my african tanks at high ph with the big guys cruising around so I take this as an indication that the fish are happy in there..
