In the meanwhile i got both torpedos (7) and rainbows (9) as Glenna suggested, they are in quarantine . in two weeks I will be moving the severums and red parrot to a separate tank and introduce the ...

Hi, thank you for your response. The cichild i have are also requiring lower PH so the conditions are similar. You are correct about overloading the system; it is a newly established tank and I need to be very cautious. There is another thing i didn’t mention and maybe I should. I “stumbled” upon th...
