Tap water here is about 8.0. My grocery store's "RO" water is 7.8. A lot of threads here say that most fish will adjust to the local pH. Maybe consider keeping species that aren't real sensitive to it. Buying distillers water all the tom Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 100 gallon tank with assorted cichlids (Maingano, Auratus, aceii, labs, demasonii) I was told that they would eat any plants or would dig them up but is there something I could plant? How about Anubias since they don't need to be rooted in the substrate. Sent from my iPhone using...

Any idea whether this guy is a Maingano or an Auratus? He/she is about 1/2" long Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I wonder if you even need to wait until they hatch. Maybe just pick up the pipe and put it in an otherwise empty tank. I think the mother just provides protection not any other "supportive care" Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 2 gallon bowl with 10 red Riki shrimp. I have some Java moss in there -- will they actually eat that? I have a few random sprigs of other plants. I would like to use a little fertilizer for the plants. I have Florinmulti. It does list copper but I think it is pretty low concentration...

I also have one Auratus fry about 8 mm "big". The male is protecting it taking over a third of my 100 gallon tank with 12 other cichlids. Anyone have any idea how big it needs to be to be considered "safe". The other fish are labs, mainganos, acai, and demasonii. Sent from my iPhone using...

This does seem strange. So just to be sure we understand this the fish are fine in the 55 gallon and the tub and only do poorly in the 70 gallon? The color change and eye cloudiness are probably due to mucus production in response to the funky tank. Did you use any sort of cleaner on the tank...

What kind of sump? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What do you have for a filter on the tank (be specific)? You might need to have the 55 back home to handle that much fish (like the monster koi in the 70 and the rest in the 55. You want plenty of filtration power. Do you have a heater? I think most people don't use heaters for koi ??? Sent...

What kind of filtration do you have? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Could have been metals from the water heater. zinc? I would avoid using any hot water from now on. Use the cold tap only. Let it warm up to room temp and it will probably be fine. Or get an extra water heater to put in your bucket Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
