pH for L260?

I currently have some L260s growing on. The water conditions are pH 7.2 with GH 180 and KH 9.

What are the ideal water paramters for L260s? Can I bring the pH below 7 if needed? I am planning on adding some dwarf cichlids.

Thanks

Hi Tom

Cat-e-log says pH 6.4 - 7.6 for L260 arabesques.They aren't too fussy about water parameters and have been known to spawn in ordinary(Dechlorinated) tap water with a pH of 7.5 - 8.0.
I would lower the pH gradually though so the L260 can slowly become accustomed to it.
What Cichlids are you planning on introducing?
