Shovelnose cats PH

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ideally not, no.

Lima's are a south american species where the water is soft & depending from what River/ region Ph ranges from 6.2 - 7.4.

That's not to say that it's not possible in a larger Tank.
 
That's a little too alkaline for a Lima. They would tolerate it probably if gradually transferred to a pH of that level but would be much better/happier in a pH in the mid to high 6 range like 6.5-6.8
