Its tricky. I was still "conditioning" them... im still on the middle of dropping the PH and softening the water. If you read up on these, the eggs don't typically hatch unless under 5.0 .. im still around 6.8 i added a couple almond leaves and a little "peat tea" that i make and we'll see where that goes..

I know how that goes... playing with water chemistry is tricky business.

I've had eggs hatch even when the recommended pH is higher. It does affect hatch rate though so lower is still probably better. Some pH levels may affect sex ratios too. Not sure Dicrossus does this or not.

And I suspect I was not alone in that sentiment. Lol Xander, I have about 50 others to keep it company! What would you like, super red, super red calico, albino, albino long finned? LOL Shoot me a pm! D.J. how are these guys doing? Looks like you had to bring the PH down quite a bit for them!

The trio is great... the breeding, thats another story. I saw zero fry.
