Best kind of substrate? I believe im going to start up a tank if they are as cool as everyone says. Also how to maintain the high ph correctly? I have no experience with Africans

 

[Brookster123]

Use sand 100%, pfs would be fine. Acid/cichlid buffers will get you where you need to be..limestone as well..

Their tough little guys. What is your pH out of the tap? If its 7.5 or above I wouldn't worry about it

It depends on the species and collection area. If they're not straight from Tanganyika, they generally aren't gonna be super picky on hardness or pH. Personally, I use texas holey rock in my tanks. Multis are especially hardy with parameters

Tap is 7.0 which is great for my discus! But not so great for these guys. I need to take down my 20 hex and set up a longer tank and then i am going to get this going! What water change schedule would i need with these guys? Will deff get the sand

 

[nshepler]

I do weekly water changes.

Perfect ty

7.0 will work out fine for a tank bred species. After all, 7 is neutral, so neither basic not acidic. Limestone/crushed coral will work just fine
