mine is at 7 with no problems with my aro... as for salt? no need for it unless youre treating the tank for something like ick

a stable ph is far better then any specific ph

The stable PH factor for South American fish is 6.0.......................Anyhting higher is more suitable for fish from the African lakes, such as Tanganika.....

Absolutely correct!

I haven't kept a silver before but lots of Jardini's......they all thrived in a pH north of 7.5

So 6.2 is ideal for African cichlids?
