I've kept my CRS with assassins for awhile now and they have been doing fine, health-wise. I understand that CRS do well in soft and acidic water. I don't have any test kits but the CRS are living happily in city tap water so no problems there.
My problem is that the tips of the assassins' shells are eroding away in city tap water. It doesn't seem like a big deal to their health or anything so far but their shells definitely weren't as happy as when I first got them.
Does anyone keep CRS with assassins here? How would you deal with the soft, acidic water chipping away assassin shells?
On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know how CPOs fare against city tap water? I don't have any parameters, but just wondering if anyone knows. I've lost a pair but don't know the cause of death and suspect it might be the water...
