Tank suitability for A. Borellii male.

[Cheops9]

Hi All,
I've recently set up a new 45L or 12 US Gallon 45x32x32cm tank. At the moment it has 12 ember tetra but would it be ok to add a lone male A. Borelii?

The tank should be fine. How hard is your water?

It's really soft: ph 6.8, kh 1, gh 4

Close to the habitat (then the GH would be about 1°)

What is the temperature?

Wouldn't hurt if it was a few degree cooler.

Exactly, turned out best pactice is room temp. In summer a few days to a week over 25° (~30° max) is fine, in winter not under 18°. Sweetspot is at 20°C.
