well i come custom to using R/O water for my reef tanks and my FOWLR tank, and have been using it for my cichlids but use cichlid tarce for them, and i would like to use R/O water for my what i believe to be a 14" male and 12" female pair but not sure what to use for trace elemnt for them any info greatly apreciated Thanks Dan

Tap water with Prime conditioner is best.

in reality with the right trace elements would have to be best that maybe what you can do to get bye any other opinions, would the trace elements for african cichlids work?

well being what i think is a pair i would liek to give them the best water quality water i can give them, using r/o on my cichlid tank i have noticed the fish looking a lil healtier,not to say they werent before but just colors looked to pop a little more . so for the puffer i figured it would do the same and help with poss breeding like some do for rays

im looking to give the best water i can to my puffers, tap water is not the best i wont even drink tap. so instead of asking me questions back if you dont have an answer for what i could use than dont reply

Where do you live?

Your water authority should be able to provide you with detailed chemical analysis of your water. It will likely be more than adequate for your fish, and probably better than you could do with RO water and reconstituted trace elements.

Despite what you may think, this IS an answer to your question, it's just not what you wanted to hear. If you don't like the answer, you're welcome to search for one elsewhere.

awesome

Done.

If you don't like the answers, the courteous thing to do is ignore them. If your mind is already closed, why bother to ask?

Good luck to you and to your fish.

Thanks so much for all the helpful ideas. I can see why this site is so awesome!

Are you saying there are 2 fahakas in the same tank?

Probably, he's trying to breed them.
