High pH? Is it killing my fish?

[The_Desacrator]

Ok so one of our guppies died 2 days ago. I checked the water ph today and its at like ~7.6ish. in the tank there are like 2-3 guppies, 2 bala shark,a pleco, and 3 angels. its a 60 gallon. what should i do? i tried using google and i didnt get good info.

the guppies are probably being picked on. not a good mix with the other occupants IMO. I know angels can be pretty aggressive. what are your other parameters?

Well i checked the other parameters like 5 days ago and the tank appeared to be healthy. 0ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite, and like 20ppm nitrate if I recall correctly

your fish has died since then, retest it. But as I mentioned earlier, the guppies are probably being picked on by the bigger sharks and angels.
