the ph should be slightly acidic (under 7)

the ph should be slightly acidic (under 7)

it should be but do you think everyone who has ever kept a p has there ph at 6.8?, because they don't and they can live at a ph over that.

How many do you want to have as adults would be the question? If you want 3 adults, 75 gallon. 4-6 adults, 125 gallon. 6-9 adults, 180 gallon. etc...

Just because they can live at that ph doesn't mean it's good for them. At least let the guy know what is recommended and let him decide if he wants to keep them at 6.8. I know that my jack dempsey should be around 6.8 ph but hes at 7.4. I would still recommend someone keep theirs at 6.8 though if they asked. But remember, most if not all fish can adapt.
Also, I'm not trying to attack you XR, just trying to be helpful.
