Not really posting a lot any more about what i'm doing and with the recent server issues even less, however thought i'd try it and see what happened.
Good to see PetPirate has resolved the issues.

It's good to know that we're not alone keeping our t. sabahensis in FW. We've begun experimentation with water hardness and pH trying to find the values that make them happiest. Our water parameters were posted at the beginning of this thread, what is your water like? How did you go about making the salinity change?

The R&A Collective.

My water is quite hard I think as it comes outthe tap, Ph is above 7.5, almost 8. I dropped the salinity gradually over 4 weeks he was only at 1.004 so a .001 drop a week.

One thing I have mentioned before is that these fish get weird lumps and marks and you think what the hell is it sick and thenthey go on there own.
