Can Convict cichlids adapt to 8.3 PH?

[beerad555]

I have well water with a high Ph of around 8.5 but with driftwood it stabilizes around 8.3 and my Jag is thriving well in my 125 gal. But I was thinking about breeding convicts in a 25 gal and wondered if all cichlids do well in high PH with a KH of around 14?

convicts are fine in high ph

My convicts thrive in 8.2 PH city water.

yup ~ its a little high but they will adapt.They are very hardy.

Not a problem.

Convicts could swim in Spic and Span. LOL

If you are going to move them to that pH from a much lower pH, you would be best served doing it gradually.

ya they would be fine. My ph is 8.4. None of my fish have ever had a problem. My f1 pair are thriving but not breeding much.
