Type here other important information:
1. Try to adapt the fries to Higher PH so that
cosummers can purchase it without adjusting the PH. Most of my fishes can
withstand PH as high as 7.8 that is the water condition here and can go as
low PH5.8 without any problems. 2. Make sure to water change the fries as
frequent as possible to avoid contamination from the feeds and ammonia. 3.
Close supervision on the fries and make sure there is adequate feeding. Do
not stund the fishes. 4. Apply medication when the fries do not have the
appetite to eat. .
