What can I do?

pH directly from tap

I appreciate the help and the questions — thank you! I want to learn and get this right! I currently have a 15 gallon tank. Two (pregnant) female platys and a male platy Two rasboras Three Cory catfish Two shrimp Three young female guppies A dozen or so small platy fry Lots of ramshorn...

This was from August 2 of this year—

I will say that when I first started testing for pH from my tank it was showing the bright blue under normal pH. So something has really changed the balance.

Okay— thanks. So what can I do to raise the pH for my livebearing fish? Ugh, that totally makes sense — I was under the impression to test in the high range pH for livebearing— 🫤🙄

These two tests were from my tank—

So the first picture is just normal pH Second shot is high range pH What does this mean for my pH? Sorry, I’m new to this…

I’ve kept Platys for about 3 months now and have lots of healthy fry. No issues whatsoever ever. I also do weekly water changes— sometime 2x a week. So should I not add crushed coral to increase KH and GH?
