| Tetra Fan Mega Fish Posts: 1203 Kudos: 1081 Votes: 63 Registered: 11-Apr-2004   | I have kept Bolivians in about the 80-82 degree range as well. When you ask Sneaky what her water chemistry is are you asking what pH Bolivian Rams will do well in? If so they should do fine from 6.6-7.6. |

| So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004 | yep, soft acidic waters are best, but they are tolerant of most water conditions. My personal water is treated with peat for the acidity, so has a ph of 6.6 and a hardness of >80 gh I have an abundance of live plants, so NitrAtes rarely move above around 15ppm or so.

| upikabu Fish Addict Posts: 591 Kudos: 393 Votes: 44 Registered: 08-Jun-2005 | Yes, my Bolivian pair are kept in 27C, Brisbane tap water (pH 7.8). They obviously like it fine because they spawned just a few days after they were put in the tank.  -P  |
