I learned the hard way that the little cat Aspidoras pauciradiatus can't survive the pH rise from a 20% water change using SF tap water. (It did make them spawn, though!) And I recall Al Castro talking about tetras never spawning because of just one such episode in their lives. It's possible we should adjust the pH of new water. Cliff I don't think it was the water change... I do water changes that big all the time with these guys without a problem. Also, the pH in my tank doesn't seem to drop much below my tap water, although I don't test it that frequently (and when I do, I use the cheap Tetra kit).
