Blue Rams

[Darky]

Is there anyone who can help? I have a cycled 55 gallon tank, with sandy substrate and little else. My water is hard and my Ph is high, and I plan on getting black water extract soon, to help remedy this problem. I also plan on adding driftwood. I want to add rocks, but what kinds can I get that will not raise my ph/hardness anymore than it is? I was considering lace rock, but it seems like this will buffer it...

I really would like to breed them, but I want to get everything right first!

if your water is already hard and ph is high dont get rocks. but you can get driftwood which will lower the ph and do some plants. put in one breeding pair of blue rams and some tetras and youll be golden.
