They are fine.

but i would raise the gh to 5 or 6 if i were you. or supplement with lots of calcium rice food like blanched spinach.

Ok. Sounds good. I can always raise the Gh.

Looks about right just as the other member said the GH can be a bit higher.

Agreed, raise the GH up a little. I add cuttlefish bone in addition to feeding foods high in calcium to help keep their shells in good health.
