I am really keen to add a pair of German blue rams to my tank.
Tank is a Juwel Rio 125. Current inhabitants:
4 zebra danios (very old)
5 pentazona barbs
7 corydoras trilineatus
17 cardinal tetras
1 zebra nerite snail
This tank is using pressurised Co2 injection and I use RO water on it which I remineralise to approximately KH 4 and GH 10.
The pH usually is between 6 and 6.5. Because the water is soft, the pH varies a lot throughout the day. I am concerned that GBRs need a stable pH, so the daily fluctuations in pH caused by Co2 will be no good for them.
Also, is it correct that they need to be kept at a minimum temperature of 26C?
Finally, would they try to eat my poor nerite snail?
Any advice is much appreciated.
