Where's all of the water parameters at now?

First off i never said there was anything wrong with using RO water, all i stated was why mess up a good thing before you jump the gun. its common sense not to fix something that isn't broke. :roll:

why not let them try I'm sure this is new to them, not all variants get it right the first time :D ...

Thanks guys!

Here is the list in the tank thus far

L25 12-13"
L25 6"
L273 gold 12"
L273 black 7-8"
L24 6-7"
LDA07 7"
L97 @4-5"
L204 4"

as for Geo's

4 Geophagus Altifrons
6 Geophagus Tapajos OH's
13, 1 1/2" Geophagus Tapajos II
10 Colombain Tetras
8 Red eye tetras
6 Corys

1/60 shutter
f/2.8
Flash used in auto-mode.

Thanks guys i only posted the amount of pics to give a good example of them tossing and rolling

More then likely it is aggression but with the scarlet being so submissive i cannot rule out courting.
