Hi Sparks,

Firstly, welcome to TFF.

Dont worry about your PH. So long as it is stable and not fluctuating up and down, 7.4 - 7.6 will be fine for 99% of fish.

A stable PH is much more important than having the correct figure. Please don't be tempted by PH adjusting chemicals, as they only lead to trouble.

I have mollies, guppies and neons in my tank and the PH is 7.5. No problems at all because my PH is stable.

Hope this helps. Any more questions, just post them on and someone will be delighted to help.

Cheers.

BTT
