| |
They require soft, acidic water, with a low pH level from 4.7 to 6.8. The water temperature has a narrow and warm range of 82 to 86 degrees.
| |
As free carbon dioxide is the form that is toxic to fish, high toxic concentrations are only normally found in neutral or acidic waters. Most surface waters, in their natural surface state contain low concentrations of carbon dioxide (<6 mg/l).
| |
This is because is originates from the Niger River delta where the soft acidic waters of the Niger and its streams and tributaries meet the slightly salty, alkaline water of the Delta.
| |
I then did a little research and discovered that the water they come from is as acidic as 5.5 pH. and as soft as one degree of hardness. I also learned that they are best kept in pairs.
| |
This tetra prefers a darker environment with several plants and soft, acidic water. They also need some open space for swimming, and a few hiding spots. Floating plants work well to filter out some of the direct light.
| |
Something with a pH lower than 7 is acidic. Something with a pH higher than 7 is basic. Water has a pH of 7 naturally, but the water you are using in your tank will be different because of the chemicals that are suspended or dissolved in the water.
| |
● pH - pH measures whether your water is basic, acidic, or neutral. A pH of zero is the most acidic, 14 is the most basic, and 7 is neutral. Most fish prefer a pH in the range of 6.4 - 7.

The pH scale ranges from 1 ( acidic) to 14 ( alkaline). A pH of 7 is neutral.
| |
Discus come from the warm, soft, acidic waters of the Amazon River. It's no surprise then that discus thrive when these conditions are replicated in the home aquarium. For both general maintenance and breeding of discus the pH should be kept at 6.
| |
Some fish prefer soft, acidic water, while others prefer hard and alkaline water. There are varieties that thrive in water with low mineral content, while different ones will become sickly in such conditions.
| |
0 is acidic. Fish can survive in a pH range from 5.0-9.5. Most freshwater tanks should be kept slightly acidic (6.5-7.0) for egg-laying fish, and slightly alkaline (7.2-7.6) for live-bearing fish. However, there are exceptions (i.e. Cichlids 7.5-8.5).
| |
Water should be on the acidic side. Rain water is often used to lower the pH, however care should be taken to ensure that the water is not contaminated with toxins.
| |
They like slightly acidic water, with a pH between six and eight. They eat flake and freeze dried foods, and should occasionally be frozen foods, such as: daphania, plankton, beef heart, brine shrimp, glass worms and blood worms.
| |
Water maintained under higher temperature also tends to be acidic. You can also observe some mild pH fluctuations during water changes. If you have a planted tank, you can observe considerable pH fluctuations during day and night hours.

They prefer slightly acidic water and dimly lit conditions. Two methods of egg laying are recognized: ...
| |
Housing: They adapt to most water conditions, although acidic water should be avoided. For best results keep them in well established tanks, and maintain a slightly alkaline pH.

| |
We can all probably recite the definition of pH we learned in junior high physical science class: It is a logarithmic scale indicating hydrogen ion concentration which, in turn, is indicative of the acidic or basic characteristics of the liquid.
| |
The water temperature should be maintained at 18° - 21°C. Change 25% of the water every week. If you have hard or acidic water, you may need to add 1 teaspoon of marine salt mix per 10 litres at each change.
