As professionals, we’ve keep 1000s of these fish and really have learn the secret to keep these fish.
The first is shipping and stocking issues. Once you get past these they are easy to keep.
In waters with higher alkalinity, the use of RO is a good thing and also using acid buffers such as bio-lift, peat, driftwood or other stabilizers for a acidic environment.
Remember not to chase pH, but stable the pH with a good KH buffer. Also, a good mineralization of GH for the electrolyte minerals for osmoregulation. SeaChem Replenish or AAP Wonder Shell is a must.
There’s also be healthier fish with tanks fully stocked with plants. They help with filtration, but also lots of hiding places. A good 6500K light is best.
