Two weeks update – daily 1L water replacements with RO water treated with alder cones has yielded water parameters of 100µS/cm, 5.6 pH and temps between 23-26C. The warmer temperatures have arrived this past week and thus the increase in water temp. I will try to keep water temps from rising above 26C.
I will try to lower conductivity and pH even lower over the next week. The fish continue to look healthy and eat well, so some luck with the acclimation process to better water levels.
Here a photo showing now more humic substances in the water from alder cones, and a nice couple. I wonder how long it will be before any signs of breeding show? I understand this is a challenging species to work with, so all the more luck is needed for my first try with breeding paros!
