The shop where i got them from was keeping them in regular tap water parameters, at a PH of 7.5

    BTW don't know if you knew this, but these fish make sounds, similar to sparkling gouramis. It's similar to their noise, but quieter. They do it sometimes when they play and when you feed them. if it's quiet enough you can actually hear them, but the most obvious is when you net them out, which of course I don't recommend you do just for the pleasure of hearing them "scream for help" xD

      That's good to hear! To clean them I soak the whole thing in a container with some bleach, and I do this while the CO2 is on! This way the bleach does not go in the actual diffuser. After 10-15 minutes i just rinse it in a container with tap water and that is it.

    Welke soort hout is het die je hierin gebruikt?

      Hey Marion! Het grootste stuk is gewoon ''spider wood'' dit kun je tegenwoordig in elke winkel wel vinden. De kleinere stukjes is een product van WIO dat heet ''elder roots'' geen idee wat voor hout het precies is.

    Are your Sundadanio Axelrodi still alive? These fishes are sensitive and not easy to keep. They don’t accept dry fish food too.
