References to Sci papers wanted.

I'd like to locate some literature on the effects of hardness and ph on spawning in SA fish, or any papers where the results might have a bearing on our sect of the hobby. Pseudo scientific papers would be good also, but I'm really looking for journal articles and the like. If it's linkable, awesome, if not, I can still find a way to access them (sneak into local university library or something). If there is a thread already covering this I apologize.

You may want to try PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed, a site that is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. It's free to the public (U.S. taxpayers pick up the check ). Focus is on benchtop science articles, but you'll be surprised by the wealth of information available. And the best: the website provides links to free copies of research article, if applicable.

Romer's Cichlid Atlas I is extracted from his PhD thesis, which has quite a substantial amount of scientific work with robust methodology. You may take a look.
