[Ivanacara adoketa Breeding Tips]

I have a couple pairs of Ivanacara Adoketa that are starting to show breeding behavior and it's time to give it a shot. My water ph out of the tap is 7.6-7.8 and is pretty hard, but I have an RO unit and am going to transition them to softer water. Has anyone successfully bred them and if so, would you offer any tips on the water parameters necessary to produce fertile eggs (ph, hardness, temp, etc.)? I've heard you have to drop the ph to 3.5-4, is that true? Much appreciated!

[L397 Breeding Water Parameter Range]

Does anyone know the ideal and acceptable range of water parameters for breeding L397s? Hardness, PH, temp. I'm curious if I've got mid to high 7s PH and hard water if it's worth trying.

Thanks,

Matt
