I'm in East TX and our water is *really* hard. Even with two 18-24" hunks of driftwood and four media cartridges stuffed with peat, I cannot get the pH in our 100 gal below about 7.8. I just placed an order today with Jeff Rapps for wild-caught oscars and F1 red-headed severums. He says he keeps his fish about 7.0, and of course the wilds were originally in an even lower pH. Normally I wouldn't worry about it, but because these are not captive bred, I'm concerned. Do you guys think the fish will adapt, or should we make a mad R/O water dash?
I'd also be interested in suggestions on acclimating them.
Thanks!
