The local pet shop just had these labeled as assorted, so I have a bunch of different ones. I got them all from one tank at the shop figuring that at least I know they can handle being roommates. Lol. I did research and identify several of the species at one point, but none of the names stuck with me. I did start them out with water at a ph of around 8, but they are doing fine on water from my well now, which is usually around 7.5. Still a little high for plants I suppose, but it is the same water that goes into the garden. I suppose that the soil could be affecting that as well, so I will definitely have to stick with plants that have low nutrient requirements that can handle warm water. Then I'll just have to do foliar feeding as necessary. The main purpose for this one is practical knowledge of the plumbing and demonstrating the usefulness of AP to my wife. My life will be much easier if I can get her interested.
