i have basically the same params as ikuzo,

ph 7.3
gk/kh idk
temp 77

i know the op bred his in a ph of 7.5 so would my ph be okay too see some CRS breeding?

Does anyone know if there's any truth to the crystal reds not breeding readily in a tank under 20 gallons? Would a 10 gallon with moderately hard water and a pH of ~7.8 be okay for CRS?

pH may be a bit high. Mine didn't start to breed until around 7.0 or less.

Hmm...will they at least survive and co-exist happily for a bit in these conditions? I won some today at our fish clubs auction. At about 15 for a $1/piece I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to put them in a breeder net inside my cherry shrimp tank until their own 10 gallon is ready

Is there anything deemed "safe and effective" to alter the pH outside of just using RO water? Would something like Seachem Acid Buffer/Neutral regulator be okay to use?
