Hi I just wanna know what's the highest Ph a flowehorn can survive in.... My friend is gonna give me his 3" FH and I doNt have a tank to put him in immediately so I was wondering if the FH would be able to survive with my lake Malawi mbuna for about 2 weeks... I keep there PH around 8.1... No offense I know about the aggressive behavior etc and how eventually the FH will kill all the mbuna I'm strictly concerned with PH I can use to house the two species until I can get the FH his own tank.. Thanks in advance
 
He will be fine in 8.1 That's about perfect for most strains of flowerhorns. They like higher pH because it is more stable. High pH = big nuchal hump. I would only be worried if it were 8.4+
