    Wow! Those are great looking fish. What are your water parameters? Congrats, again!

    pH out of tap is about 7.2, and as i've some peat in the filtration system, the tank water is about 6.5-6.8, depending on how much water change, wastes produced, etc... and when tank hits past pH of 7, i'll replace with a new bag of peat... just to keep it a little acidic.. don't think I'll go any lower by adding more peat, as i'm worried they get stressed with bigger fluctuations...

    local temperature is warm though, prob 28-30 deg C for the tank... TDS meter reads about 70+... did I miss out anything?

    Heckels like and can stand warmer temps than other species, so don't worry on those temps...and they'll really pop colors at a ph. of mid fours, so I wouldn't fret in that dept. either!

    Any updates? Also, did you ever switch to an RO mix for their water or is your tap still working out for you?
