I'm still pretty new to having an aquarium. I think I probably made a few mistakes and did not let the cycle complete before I put the first fish in. I've had 2 guppies and plecostamus die and another guppy is sick right now. My PH is about 7.0 or a little higher (Isn't This too high?) , my water temp is 78-80 degress. It is a 10 gallon tank with undergravel filtration. I now have 2 guppies, 2 plecostamus, 2 tetras (Were labeled "Fruit Tetras at store"), and 2 neon tetras. I would like to know why I cant get my PH more balanced and lower? Also my Fruit Tetras are fighting and biting the guppies fins, is this normal behavior? I thought they were compatible. I need some advice in a major way on what to do next? How to fix PH? Are my fish compatible? Do I need to change or add fish? Thank you for any help you can provide.
