PH level

[Rigil]

Hi guys currently i have x1 Peacock Bass, DAtnoid, Parrot fish, and Arowana.
And my ammonia is currently set at 0 and i know its good, But my PH lvl is below 6.

What is the ideal PH lvl for our common fishes?

Add some CC and slowly bring yr PH up to btw 6.5 to 7.0...

Sorry guys any suggestions on raising my ph lvl to 6.5 - 7

bro u can add more coral chips as it will increase your ph level. but take nnote that it will make your water harder also. but as long as your fishes are allright its ok to add more.

Another alternative is to add baking soda...but do note that small amts must be added gradually and monitor yr PH wif a PH meter...
