Can someone tell me what my ph lvl should be for a buttikoferi I'm seeing so many different levels online some sites say 7.8 to 8.6 and others are saying 6.5 to 7.0. So obviously I'm a bit confused how could they be talking about the same fish?

I'm looking for a fish with attitude and I'm thinking of setting up a green terror tank but I am still looking around. I was wondering if anyone has a different fish that is more prone to be aggressive but can still stay happy in a 75g or a 55 breeder.

My vampire Pleco has been nothing but healthy over the past year, but this morning I went to work after feeding him. I came home, and I noticed the food was not eaten. I looked for him, and as usual he was in his castle hiding but something was off. I took the castle out, which revealed white...
