That’s too bad! I will keep that in mind while aclimating paros in the future, then…by the way, today I (finally!) succeeded in setting up a tank that has a ph consistently below 5 (it’s about 4.2-4.3 right now). However, being the impatient guy I am, I used a lot of peat granules to accomplish that task, sending the conductivity up from about 3.2 (the conductivity of the distilled water the tank started with) to an annoying 64 microsiemens :(. I’m hoping that value will drop as the tank matures and I do water changes, but…would such a ‘high’ conductivity interfere with successful paro spawning, especially since almost all of it comes from the tannin sources? (For those concerned, there are no paros in this tank…just set it up yesterday)
