| Talking of the quality and fragility of the 
Microgeophagus rams, if anyone knows someone in the UK who is breeding high 
quality stock it would be great to hear from them. I had a great pair for 2 
years, but the male turned on the female, and everything I have seen since isn't 
up to scratch.   Cheers Chris

 Hi 
  Brian!   How did you acidify 
    the water down to 5.0-5.5??   Ernst 
 
 SeaChem Acid buffer.  It's phosphate free so it doesn't cause algae 
  blooms.  It goes away though, so you have to monitor the pH frequently 
  and add more buffer all the time.  |
