greenmonkey51    Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004   | One of my lfs has some really nice rummynose tetras but I dont know if I could keep them. I can up my water change schedule to 30% twice a week but my water is very hard. My ph is about 8.3. I don't know. I dont want to buy a whole school and have them die. Should I get them. The tank is a 75g. |

If you have well/RO water available, I'd do half of your water change with it, to soften the water--or add a plethora of DW/peat pellets into your tank. |
