    Is it true?

    Hi Guys

    Just wish to confirm if I am correct, is Betta splendens the fish that is capable to live in water with high concentration of CO2(ppm)?
    Is there any other fish that is more capable to live in the same environment?

    Just wish to know as I am using ADA Amazonia, and thinking of using fish (that needs the least O2 to survive, with high CO2 in water) to be my CO2 level indicator
    In the case it is about to , I will transfer it to another tank.

    This can tell me roughly how many BPS is the maximum I can go (only for that species of fish).
    Would this work?
    Regards,
    Izzat

    Wouldn't it be easier to just measure the pH of your tank water at ambient and at max CO2? No need to risk fish lives too.

    See post #6 onwards in this thread.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:

    I think it might be easier with a second hand pH meter. Less guess work and no dead fish.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Thanks Vincent
    I have posted some quiries on that thread.

    Thanks Benny
    Will do as what Vincent suggested with a pH pen.
    Regards,

    Isn't betta an air breather?
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    Anabantoids will succumb to overly-high CO2 concentration in the water as well.
