Hello
The pairs are kept in two 24 x 18 x 18 tanks ( they are the
top two tanks behind me in the pic ). I have only had the
fish for about a month so they are only now settling in
properly. Over the weekend i have changed the system so
the water change is done over a 24 hr period. This allows
me to bring the condutivity down slowly so hopefully i dont
get any big ph changes as you do when you change large
amounts of water in one go. At the moment the ph is 5.7
with a conductivity of 110 ms the system is around 350 gal
and i am changing 45 gal of water every 24hrs. I am aiming
at a ph of 5 with a conductivity of about 80ms. So i hope
over the next few months to get them to spawn.

Very impressive, Pete! From the look of your tanks you have spent quite a bit of time and thought in arranging them. I like the suspended sponges to ease your cleaning.
