I read something about keeping them in ponds on an article on "Der Makropode", where was specified that it's important for temperature not to drop below 15°C...but I also read (this time on an Italian article) that they were mantained all time at minimum 25°C... What about your experience? I keep them at 20°C, a little above room temperature (18-19°C during the day, 15°C at night)... Then, what about water chemistry? I use 50% RO water and 50% tap water, a mix that gives me pH 7,2 kH 8 and GH 10...it's all right or I have to change something?]]> Makropoden Jacopo https://www.igl-home.de/community/makropoden/temperature-and-water-chemistry-for-m-spechti-tank/#post-2819
