gallowchris said:7 is fine for a Ram tank unless you want to breed. Stable PH is more important than a low one. If you want to lower the PH for Rams use the discus buffer, just follow the directions. You dont need the Neuteral regulator btw.
Really? I was reading a care sheet and it said it should be at 6-6.5.

They only time you should worry about matching PH is if the fish are wild caught.
Mogurako said:Yes they well. Now wether or not you'll get a successful spawn where they don't eat the egg or wigglers is a whole different story.
Yeah I heard. But I got some almond leaves with them because I heard that liked it. I hope I will lower the pH at a safe rate and I also have a little driftwood in there

If you keep the temp high and nice regular WC 7 is fine for breeding rams... My pair have laid at 7
Gillie said:And quite a few do it in a higher Ph also, I had 3 pair at one time spawning in well water 8.2 Ph, although it did take forever for them to stop eating the eggs and wigglers.
ryan-peddle said:I also keep and breed rams of all kinds successfully in 8.5 ph I never touched ph + or - stable ph is much more important
Wilkes said:They will be fine you can also just make subtle changes to help you PH like almond leaves for example
