Hi there,
I've got a male Blue Ram in my planted 38-gal community tank, along with two pairs of Kribs, one Congo tetra, some bronze cories, a few otocinculus, three Rasbora tetras, and four glowlight tetras. Also two small clown plecos. And three fancy-tail guppies.
The Blue Ram is doing fine in 7.6 pH water (I've had him many months now), and he's gorgeous. Question: if I go back to the same store where I got him (they sell locally-raised Rams acclimated to the higher pH) and get a female, will the Rams be able to breed in water with a pH that high? I think the hardness is only at about 3, and past attempts to lower the tank's pH have been disastrous and ineffective. Is it physically impossible for Rams to produce offspring in 7.6 water? (Assuming they'd pair off at all, of course.)
Thanks!
