Water back to normal ❤️?❤️

Hi guys just an update!water PH still good here,very hard water down here in Kent so reading7.5-8 which I have read is ok ?all remaining fish seem fine although since the fish purchase from PAH and the Angel fish refund I did go on to loose one of their zebra danios and the remainder 3cardinal tetras??all from PAH!!so won’t be buying from them again?here is my oto I have learned they are night cleaners lol (hubby named him Alfred)after Alfred in the Batman movie ??he came out earlier than expected last night so I seized the moment n took a snap?

Aww I love otos they're so cute! They do prefer to live in numbers though, in the wild they go about in massive shoals so you make him feel safer if you got him some friends. And don't ever buy fish from PAH, they love to interrogate you and make you feel like a bad fish owner and yet their tanks and stock are of shocking quality

Always handy to have someone local you can pick the brains of! Awesome, glad you're sorted ??

That pH is rather high for tetras, they prefer acid water ( below 7 )

Tetras also prefer soft water. Hardness is actually more important than pH.

just as important and should be treated equally.
