I'm transitioning my tank to 'hopefully' keep neo's and chili rasboras but finding it quite difficult to find definitive parameters.
Some websites give wild ranges like 14C to 30C. I've done my best to create a table below with the parameters I 'think' are correct. the midpoint column is where I will aim to keep both species happy.
Please comment if you think anything is incorrect.
I cant get hold of Salty shrimp, so I'm using Shrimp king to remineralise RODI. I'm making small water changes to slowly 'correct' my tap water tank.
The tap water here is very hard so this will take a few weeks of 10% water changes every other day.
Shrimp king has a KH lower than salty shrimp and may target, so I will need to raise it slightly. Any suggestions on how to do this?
