Crayfish compatability

What ph do rainbows and rams need? I heard rams like lower ph. My current ph is 7+

I think it really depends on what oh they were raised in from what i have seen on here

Alright

Most freshwater like ph levels around 6-7.5 so rams and rainbows should fall around the middle of the ph levels ( around 6.5-7 )

As long as you avoid extremes, almost any fish can adjust to any ph. Even discus, notoriously touchy fish, have been bred in ph 7.6 water, which is much higher than recommended. Rams too have been bred in a pH of 8. Some wild fish will not adjust, however that seems to be one of the only exceptions.

Thanks for your advice you guys. I really appreciate it. I went to get a new fish today looking for a ram. The color wasn't there so I bought a rainbow. Thanks again! Here's a pic of the new guy:
