Water parameters
So, in summary, rams come from soft, warm, acidic waters, and this is
what you should try to provide them:
pH:
pH < 6.5 (acid)
Hardness:
GH < 4 (very soft)
Temperature:
27 – 30 degrees Celsius (very warm)
I haven‘t found many details regarding buffering capacity for rams, but I don‘t
use conditioning salts so my water has very low buffering capacity. Plus low pH
and low GH usually come with low KH anyway:
Buffering capacity:
KH < 4 (very low alkalinity or buffering capacity)
