Hey Everyone,

I have an empty 75 Gallon tank with driftwood, fake plants and a sand bottom. I’m thinking about turning this tank into a species only Exodon tank or possibly with a Bushey nose pleco for algae control if possible. Looking for information from keepers of them for water parameters specifically PH and water temp. Currently keep my tank temp between 78-80, but the PH seems to be on the low side around 6. Im pretty sure it’s because of the driftwood. Would I be able to keep Exodons with this PH level? Also how many would I be able to keep comfortably in here. Was thinking around 20. Also any really source for them? So far only see them available at monster aquarium.
