Possibly. Tanganyika Buffer™ is exclusively intended for freshwater cichlid tanks and not every type of aquarium fish is suited to the high-pH environment which Tanganyika Buffer™ can be used to create. Research your fish to know what pH they would prefer. Additionally, many fish, plants, and invertebrates are stressed by sudden high-percentage water changes and shifts in water parameters. We recommend to alter pH slowly and keep water changes to 30% of the tank or less. More sensitive tank inhabitants will do better with smaller, more frequent water changes and slower alterations of water parameters.
Tanganyika Buffer™ creates a pH that is too high for most, if not all, aquarium plants. We do not recommend using it in planted tanks.
Tanganyika Buffer™ Compatibility Guide
Green: This product is safe for these tank inhabitants. Take care to avoid sudden large shifts in water parameters within the tank, and review the dosing instructions carefully to avoid improper dosing.
Orange: These tank inhabitants are more sensitive, and while the product can still be used on them, it's best to start with a partial dose and work up to the full dose over time. They may also be unsuited to high-pH environments.
Red: This product is either notably stressful or utterly unsuitable for these tank inhabitants. It would be best to opt for a different product if possible. These fish are very likely unsuited to the pH that can be attained using Tanganyika Buffer™. Click tank inhabitant name for alternate products.
Black: There should never be any need to use this product in a tank with these tank inhabitants - we have no data as to compatibility for this reason. Click the tank inhabitant name for alternate products.
