Hiya!!

Thanks!!!

Platies are pretty adaptable as are shrimp. They should be happy in a pretty wide range of pH. Probably anything from 5 to 9 would be okay. The real trick is keeping the pH constant -- usually taken care of by freqeunt water changes to replenish the buffering.

What are your current pH and KH levels?

(Oh, and it is properly written pH. little p, big H.)
