b_ball34 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Hello recently ive really been thinking about an amazon puffer for my 29 gal. Finding ones not the problem but im concerned it wouldn't do well in my water 8.4 ph Max's out the gh and kh test kit. Anyone who has had a puffer in super hard water with a high ph what was your experience? Thanks Edited February 22, 2021 by b_ball34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shkote Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Mine doesn't max out, but my GH is anywhere from 350-500ppm pH 7.6-8.0 and my Amazon puffer does fine with it. My water parameters fluctuate seasonally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN-AQUARIST Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have a congo puffer on relatively hard water and he does just fine. Over all keeping water clean is more important than chasing parameters. Another thing you could check is to see if they do okay at your lfs which would likely, but not always, have similar water to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
