pH a little bit over 7 shouldn't be a problem. Even breeidng them should be doable at a pH slightly over 7, but you may need to drop the pH (well, actually conductivity, or put another way, hardness) to trigger them.

Most plecos are quite tolerant to all sorts of water conditions, as long as they are healthy and well fed.

Hi!

Totally agree with Mats, I have bred these in such type of water with a conductivity of around 300 microsiemens without any problem!!

Eu consegui ter filotes do meu L260 com esse tipo d'agua (conductivity ~300microsiemens) sem nenhum problema!

Um Abraço
