Water
Singapore tap water vs its needs
Adjusting pH the natural way — Singapore tap water (pH ~8.0) sits above this fish's ideal. Soften and gently lower pH the natural way — driftwood, catappa (Indian almond) leaves or other botanicals. Skip chemical "pH-down".

Gensou's take
3/5
Sensitivity Index — Moderate
Adaptable, but happiest with stable parameters in a matured tank.
