Water condition, water conshmision. Why do I need to go through all this trouble just for my fish? Wont they just breed?
Yes, they will breed in most water conditions,
BUT, unfavorable water conditions could cause them to miscarry
or not deliver at all. Just stick with the water conditions I
recommend. Not your own!
SUGGESTED Water Conditions for livebearers:
1.
PH ranging from 7.0 - 7.8.
2. Temperature of 75º-82º F.
3. Soft - Hard water.
4. Live plants optional.
5. If
tap water is used, get a water treater that will remove metals and chlorine.
