Aquarium Advice FINatic
My local store just got in German Blue Rams. I have been wanting this fish! But, I'm not sure if my tank will work for them. Questions:
1. I have read they need a PH up to 7. Mine is 7.8......problem? The guy at my LFS says his tank is about that and his rams are fine?
2. I've read you need peat. Is that essential? Or just suggested? I don't have peat.
3. My water is very hard (250-300). I see they prefer soft.....
4. My tank was seeded with media from a mature tank and has now been up for 4 months. I know rams need an established tank. Do you think mine is established enough especially since it basically didn't cycle due to the old media?
Thanks for your advice......
