It only detoxifys, it doesn't remove ammonia. Only way it may become an issue is if it was way over dosed and even then I'm not sure what would happen. Once added it claims it will only work for 48 hours.
Don't mess with your tap ph it will only make things worse down the road. "Once or twice a month water changes" is not going to be enough at less it is a heavily planted tank. You need to slowly get your nitrate down by doing small water changes to not shock the fish every other day till you get...

I have put them inside before under medium light and it grows like a dwarf. Personally I wouldn't waste my money

They don't really swim much so I don't see why most people say they need a 48" tank. A 20 gallon or 20 long would be fine. Don't let a bunch of people know you have them or they will blow you up trying to get some lol
