Re: Water treatment lowers pH?

Water treatment lowers pH?

Re: Are cories seasonal?

They are cute but I did some re-scaping tonight to get a clearer idea of how many there are. At least 30 fry at various stages. Most of them about half or a third of adult size.

Re: Ph shifting

Thanks to the input from everyone I leaned into trusting the tank to balance itself. It was quite an interesting journey. I added some chilli rasbora briefly while working on something else and so managed it daily and kept a bit of a log. They werent in long but I kept up the routine anyway. I am fe...
