Young Hypancistrus zebra- best conditions

Post by kkorotev »

I thought I'd refresh myself on the new standard(s) on raising young Hypancistrus. I my case, zebra (yay! scored 4 beautiful F1/F2)
What matters?
What doesn't?

Are pH/hardness/conductivity/dissolved solids real concerns?
I have the food/caves/lighting things figured out :-)
OH..and brown socks once week.
