Re: Dicrossus filamentosus

[Alfredo Figueiredo <negas@netc.pt>]

Everyone tells me about the panduro agressivity, is it so evil? ;)
I plan to breed the D. filamentosus but in another tank (120L). However, it
has the same water. It's a tap water (pH 7) filtered with peat (I can't get
below 6).
What should I do to get the 5,5?
