Is it better to have stable ph or lower for apistogramma cacadoui?

Hi i want to lower ph with peat pellets but that means that every time i will do a waterchange the ph will change. My ph is 7.6. Is it better to have stable ph or lower for apistogramma cacadoui?

A. cacatuoides live in whitewater, not blackwater. They were caught in pH as high as 8.2- 8.4. so no need for any changes.

If you use peat and RO there is no significant pH swing.

Ok thank you i just alway get distracted by LFS employes saying that they should be in 6.5

Agree with MacZ, also commercially bred specimens will be more hardy than wild caught.
