I can't remember where now, but in my quest for true freshwater nerites I poured through a lot of information about the olive / tiger's eyes that I have... Somewhere I read that they do not do well in pH under 7.0. I believe it was stated that their shells get eaten away in even slightly acidic water...
Well, I adjusted my pH up to 7.0 and increase my kH to around 130ppm, which brings my CO2 to about 22ppm... Today I decided to knock it back down to 6.9 to get closer to 30ppm of CO2... I know that a lot of you out there maintain a lower than neutral pH and am wondering if any of you care for nerites, if you have had any troubles under 7.0...
Mine seem to be more active in my shrimp tank where the pH is around 7.3 than my large tank with CO2 injection taking it down to 6.9 - 6.8....
