Hello Wannafish,
ph: 6.4-6.6
ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
I use peat in my filter (sump & fluval canister). They mostly eat live bloodworm, freeze dry bw, frozen bw, tetra colorbits, and garlic discus pallets. I notice that they are very hardy compare to my domestic. But domestic eats everything that I throw into the tank.
