I think somehow this two things is related and i think we should pay more attention during this period.

currently my Red Comm is maintain between 5.2 - 5.5 max

pushing it to PH 4 is to test one theory taught to me by one Indo frenz...I somehow cannot get the right mix of components to push the PH into 4 (maybe must remove buffering - down KH so tat my PH can go below 5)

Yes, i agreed what u have mention above, difference river will produce difference quality of red.

Ph will have a effect on red? Mmmm i never keep track on my red tank so no comment. But i think PH 5-6 will be the best. I have a 6 ft tank all year round PH maintian at PH 9-10 but fish "ang-ang"! Mmmm... thats why i got no comment in PH topic! heeheee...

Besides genes, does it indicate much abt the stages of development or health of the aro?

Transfering wont effect much on colouration, maybe less than 10%. It should be other factors like sudden change of water parameters or environment!

IMO PH has a direct relationship with the coloration development of reds...PH 4 is the limit which should show the best coloration or rather the max the red can go...anyway the water parameters of certain waters that SR lived in is around the region of 4 - 5.5...
wld PH4 or 4plus have a detrimental effect on other aros like silvers n pearls n greens?? and other tankmates too eg STs?
