Re: Nannochromis
Hi Lilia,
The n. transvestitus pair that I have spawn continuously in a ph of 4.5,
temp 80. I use rain water that I collect in two 55 gal barrels directly
from the rainspout. I then use a phyton to transfer this water into a 30
gal barrel into the house. The rainwater is then filtered with a 330 Magnum
for at least a day before I use it for the water changes.
Or you could try filtering your tap water through peat until the desired ph
is attained.
Are you using the rainwater collected in the kiddie pool after the kids have
been in it?
Best regards,
Francine
