PH level is 7.6?

Question

I have several pregnant guppies which I am concern about because of the ph level being 7.6. Also the water temperture is between 68 and 72.

Should I change or do anything different.
I feed them before I go to bed about the same time.

Also I have blue gravel which is turning brown. I believe I should use a gravel cleaner and change the water.

Any idea's or solutions are welcome.

Thank you, Bluefish

Answer 1

your pH is absolutley fine for guppies
but you will need to increase the temperature to 78-82 degrees, if you don't have a heater buy one, your temperature is way to low
But only increase the temperature 2 degrees daily
with this temperature your guppies will hold the fry much longer or may even absorb them
also i hope you have a filter and at least a 10 gallon tank for them




Hope that helps
Good luck

Answer 2

Increase temp to 76 to 78 and
What is pH?
The pH shows how acidic or alkaline water is, and is a measure of the amount of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions present in the water.Because a high KH reduces your chances of keeping the pH down, start off with RO water which has a low mineral content. Add a pH-reducing acid, such as API's pH Down, until you reach the desired mark.

Answer 3

Slowly increase the tempearture to about eighty degrees.
I know almost nothing about pH. Sorry.
