blueether Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Two videos of the 430L native aquarium just after feeding tonight, I did try and record the feeding but for some reason the camera didn't save the video - stopped recording by it's self. Please excuse the first 10 seconds of the first video... http://youtu.be/WAoCXJ2wHkU http://youtu.be/uY1y2tkztpE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 :gopo: :nfs: , what ph do you keep natives in Blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Not tested it for ages, but when it went below 6 I added a handful of crushed/chip lime to the filter and that brought it up to about 6.8 - 7. Should test it I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Just tested the pH and it is between 6.8 and 7 I guess anywhere from 6 - 7 is good, but I guess I'm aiming for high 6's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Very nice! Regarding pH, natives are found in extremely varying pH. The same species may be found in a peat swamp or in limestone streams. There is a paper that goes into the pH of places giant kokopu were found, I can't remember the title but it should be in that endnote stuff I gave you.

I think I can remember reading it, some thing like ~4 to near 8 I think it said... /me goes off to find it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 something like that! It makes sense that at least NZ native fish would have such high tolerances as each species can wind up in such widely differing habitats. Even for the non-diadromous species, there is often a lot of variety (apart from the dune lakes galaxias/dwarf inanga). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
