Hi All,
Tried to do a search here on driftwood, but kept getting search results for how to get it ready to put in the tank... Anyway...
Just bought a juvy BN plec on Saturday, and have heard conflicting things about BN plecs and driftwood. LFS where I bought him, said yes, others have said no, not necessary. I'm concerned about my tank pH dropping too much (tank pH is about 7.2, all other params are at zero)... I have the driftwood soaking in a bowl of old tank water and the pH of the water in the bowl dropped to 6.5!!
So, do BN plecs need driftwood or not? If yes, how do I introduce it to the tank without hurting the fish and/or dropping the pH too much or too quickly? Thanks!!
