Since it looks like my new tank (40 gal) is going to have VERY low ph (<6.0) I'm thinking of finding fish that like it that way. What are your favorite super soft water denizens?
your favorite blackwater/low pH species?

Green eye rasboras, Boraras, Microrasbora, and in general any small type of rasboras. I also like cardinal tetras lol.

if you can find the rarer bettas, get them. they like it on the acidic side.

great suggestions
Thanks guys! I am definitely considering a trio of apistos and some dither fish. Those cool little rasboras rock too. I wonder what would be a rare betta...did you mean wild forms or strange bred colors and tail fins?
I'm afraid bettas would be too agressive. I've seen licorice gouramis in a tank and they are very shy but so tiny. I love tiny fish. I love dreaming about this...one of favorite phases of a new tank, I suspect for you guys as well

I have a 10G with cardinals, tds of 25 and about 85% covered from light. pH is 5.4. Peaty water. The cardinals love the water and I have never seen fish so colorful. They really pop in the dim blackwater conditions. A dark tank screams for cardinals in a large group.

Betta Albimarginata looks crazy. And bettas are usually just agressive to other bettas.. They make good community fish.

what cool fish
thanks everyone, I'm having fun looking up the fish I didn't know about, and dreaming of my tank (which right now has its first algae, sigh).

That is a fully aquatic elephant trunk snake. They are considered a difficult species but I think if you have experience with aquariums they wouldn't be too bad. I'm not speaking from experience, though. I like the dry snakes
I'm interested in learning more about these guys, Naja. I am reading up on the link in your sig right now. Do you keep any other snakes?
