My water is around 7.0-7.6. Depending if I want to clean out the tannins or not. Currently at 7.0ish.
I keep them in a tank with a lot of java moss and java ferns. I can't keep too many types of plants in this tank, due to bad lighting.
I have never really witnessed my adults eat my babies. You can usually avoid this behavior by simply feeding them at least 2-3 times a day.
I should probably add that adding adult pairs to your order is very limited. Mainly because I need to keep adults to continue more colony deals. Packages = more fish removed from my tank for me and it works out better for me.
To add fish:
$5 per pair
$1.50 per young adult
$75 per fry
Adults will go by pairs. I don't want to end up with like 20 females in my tank and 3 males. You can only add up to 1 adult pair per colony order and as much as young adult/fry as you want (as long as I have it in stock). Sorry if this is an inconvenience for anyone, but I do hope you understand why I limit it .
UPDATE: I can take in only 2 more colony orders at the moment. I may have more than that, but I don't want to "oversell" if I end up not having enough.
