    Re: ph

    Can try fishless cycle by taking some old water from your mature tank.

    I used mix about 20% to 50% of water from mature tank and the rest with tap water and cycle for about 3 to 5 days. So far so good.

    Try Cichlids(except apistos), they usually live in alkaline water. I'm not sure if Apistos are suitable, from my limited understanding, they are more suitable in 6-6.5levels, I think.

    Cheers!

    If it's a small tank, you can use Bumblebee Gobies.

    how come your pH is so high?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
