I was not very successful with mine, and I kept the PH at 6.0
If your really interested in this species, get your tank setup now, and make sure that its well established. One thing I noticed its that they were healthy until they lost the algae that was growing on them and then they got blister disease. Now thats a antedotical observation, but its logical to assume that the algae out competes other pathogens, so my advice is not to place them in tank that doesn't have algae growing in it. Do you have a source for them? they haven't been available for a while. If you can find captive bred they fair much better. I've noticed that alot of asian species get blister disease, or something similar to it, when first imported.
