I have taken your advice in pH before and I never have any problems. Great video.

I agree that if the pH is stable, you really don't have to worry as much unless they are wilds.

I use RO water also and I am at 6.9 for my Wild Discus and Tetras

Thanks again about the reminder of ph STABILITY versus the #. I got it through my head finally. 😁👍

I don't have Discus Fish, but my angels seem to do well at 7.8 Thanks for the info.

Wow what a really beautiful tank. I love the fish Tefe Green Discus when full size and maturity are really beautiful fish. I would keep them in this tank.

I keep my Discus at 7.9 and they are all Hybrids. I have had them now for almost 4 years. No disease or signs that pH is to high.

pH is different almost everywhere. You can also use a buffer if the parameters are to high. That is what I do.

You have it exactly right. pH stability is important and really the biggest factor with hybrids.

Thanks!

I use RO water so can control a lot of this. My Discus are a group of Wild Ica

What's the longest you have had rams live and have you noticed any difference in lifespan of German blues vs the Bolivia gold's? I'm asking as there seems to be a acceptance narrative pushed the blues only live about a year and the reason is due to store getting them from suppliers who use hormone treatments. Your thoughts?

Does sand keep the pH down i hard that it good for live plants to can you help me with this

My fish tank water levels for no2 and no3 are very high, I’ve done many water changes and the levels stay the same, I’ve put in a live plant but still isn’t doing anything, all my fish seem fine but, no signs of stress, what do I do? I have a 76L fish tank with 7 fish, everything was good when I got the fish until I started feeding bloodworms and the water went all weird and start getting brown algae on the glass, tested the water level and no2 and no3 are very high, I am really concerned

In the Amazon rain forest the water has a ph of 3 to 5.
