Hi 7 Zwerge,
Not really as a clean-up crew. My interest is really what is becoming of the other species that are endangered along with the Paros. I think when I spoke of Catfish it was mainly a starting point; I suppose starting from the bottom and working up, so to speak 🙂
But that is interesting that once settled they breed for you in 5 pH. I’m trying to work out why those shrimp are noted as requiring a pH of 7-8 in literature. Perhaps they are usually found in clear water running over limestone? I think even the soils are averaging pH 5 in Indonesia/Malaysia, unless my memory is deceiving me 😆
Maybe one day, someone will manage to bring in and breed the local shrimp that live alongside of the Paros. As a similar shrimp can’t be found elsewhere requiring such acidic conditions then it must be assumed that these shrimp are endangered as well.
Many thanks for your input.
Bill
