Hi All
I have a pair that has started to spawn again. I am going to place then in a 29 gal in the next couple of days. In the past when I have had fish spawn the eggs have always fungused over. I use the aquarium pharmaceuticals test kits and get readings of GH 7, KH 1, PH after ageing 7. Would a TDS meter tell me more in reguards to the need to mix RO with my tap water? Or is it soft enough for breeding. I know that there is alot of variables that can come into play here. I just want to eliminate a water hardness possibility. If the experts think my water is soft enough based on the above readings I will try meth blue on the next spawn.
Thanks in advance
