Currently have a planted Fluval Edge with 3 otos, looking to start a shrimp colony.
However I see most of the shrimps do best in a ph<7, whereas my tap water is hard and has a ph of 7.8-8.1 (getting a GH and KH test kit) Would any shrimp be able to breed in these conditions or even survive? Cherry shrimp seem like a possibility, would like Crystal Reds but I doubt this will be possible without using 50% RO water or such to bring the pH down?
Thanks
