Re: Tell me about Pseudepiplatys annulatus



When I was fooling around with them my water was pH 7.8, 160 ppm total
hardness and 80ppm KH.  They were kept in a 5.5 gallon tank, bare bottom,
packed with Java moss.  They were fed brine shrimp, and tetra color bits
(ground up and pre soaked).  No heater, but then it was usually 70-80F in
Honolulu.
Of course YMMV and may not be the same for the recent commercial
importations.
