One thing I've noted is that we keep most of our dwarf cichlids within
"recommended" parameters and are unaware of what they're capable of
withstanding.
I saw an article recently that stated A Borellii had the furthest south
distribution of any apisto and had been found in water as cold as 50 degrees
Fahrenheit and in alkaline water. I once raised a couple of female
Trifasciata, because of lack of tank space, with a tankful of Cyprochromis
Leptosoma (Lake Tanganyikan) and they seemed to do pretty well in the hard
water. I hardened the water but did not check the PH.

I know... I was *hoping* I could track down some species that were at
least tolerant of it, or maybe some strain that was adapted to it...

You'd probably be better off working with some African
cichlid species.

Subject: Anybody breeding dwarf Cichlids locally?
I would love to get a pair/trio of some dwarf Cichlid species for
|
my 40
| | gallon three foot planted tank. The catch is, my pH gets as high
|
as 8.5,
| | and I don't know what the hardness could be...
Does anybody have some locally bred community-behaved Rift Lake
water-tolerant dwarfs they could bring to the next auction?
Thanks! ;-)
William
