Thanks Tyrone, I'm starting to get the picture.

pH is very NB with Tanganyikans. The chemistry of the 
lake is so stable that these fish have never had to 
adapt to acidic conditions and will not be able to do so 
in captivity. For all Tanganyikans it is best to 
maintain a pH above 7.6 or even 8.2 for some fish. High 
O2 is also needed. 
Hardness doesn't seem a major issue. As long as the 
conductivity and pH is high tanganyikans seem to breed 
freely. That is my opinion though...
