Well I’ll let you know. I’ve had them a month or two now and all is well. I have pH=7.8 from the tap and temp=78 in all my tanks.
Thus they are not safe tank mates for Angels due to the water parameter differences.

Lenny and Steve- By Co3 I meant NO3, my apologies - as well as No2 not Co2. I was half asleep when I did that post. So so sorry.
I use API’s Freshwater Testing Kit which in my experience gives better results than, say, taking them to a pet store to test, and most pet […]
This may help ( or really hinder) those looking for basic information on fish for your tanks. Point your browser to http://www.google.com/squared and enter your search term as you normally would. Results are presented in a table format with columns titled “Item Name”, “Image”, “Description”, “Family”, “Class”, “Genus”, and you can add your own columns, […]
Ike Lenny, I am not sure what you mean by CO3 levels unless you are talking about CaCO3, calcium carbonate, in which case your readings are not a problem.
Your dwarf water lily is a dwarf. If you had a “normal” sized water lily, your 20 gallon tank would not be large enough for one leaf, […]
In my freshwater aquarium, I have been having a problem with very high c03 levels(Between 80 and 100 PPM), however my co2 levels stay low - nearly unreadable. I currently have some live plants - a species of dwarf lily that I am not sure of its proper genus(And how it can be called a […]
Even in the quarantine tank I would not add the water from the bag. Why, you want to get rid of as many of the bad bugs (bacteria etc.) as possible and if you add the water from the bag you may be introducing many from the lfs water.
Hi Ray
As my cold hasn’t gotten better and with my partner coming home on Friday saying that one of his bosses is being checked for the dreaded ’swine flu’ (and tow of his other co-workers were run up at home and told to get tested too) I was a bit worried because my cold had […]
Thank you Bill, Ray and Lenny - I was reading some of the links that Lenny provided especially the “drip method” one. I think my biggest concern was ‘how to you keep the water the same temp’ during the acclimatisation period.. You really can’t place a heater in the water when the fish […]
If your tank isn’t cycled properly, that is, if the nitrogen cycle isn’t fully established, then you are better off leaving just the two fish for now until you go through the entire “Cycling With Fish” process. If you haven’t read it yet, I have a link to a thorough “Cycling With Fish” article […]
