The alder cones arrived yesterday…however, my woes with paros (or, more accurately, their water) are continuing 🙁 Sunday I purchased a few small, plain terra cotta pots at a local store with the intent of using them as spawning caves for my male paro…not even imagining that they were not nearly as inert as expected. As of yesterday the future spawning tank had shot up from a ph in the mid 4’s to the mid 6’s…all because of the terra cotta pots. In retrospect I think I should have rinsed them first, but still…with all these problems, I don’t feel as if I will ever get close to spawning my paros.
