I am thinking of doing something with bamboo pieces for a new aquarium. Its inhabitants will be clown loaches and serpae tetras, and maybe another type of tetra as well. I know that the clowns would like to have some bamboo cylinders lying on the substrate for them to hide in, and I was also thinking of maybe doing something in the background with bamboo, or building some sort of structure.
Can I do this? Is bamboo going to effect the ph of my aquarium? It's not so much a problem if it will lower the ph, but if it will raise it then it's a no go. I realize this is a sort of atypical question, but if anyone could help answer it I would be very grateful and impressed. Ebay has some assorted bamboo pieces that go off sale in 2 days.
