Ph

[Mkeuper6361]

Hello all. My Ph is 7.6 (regular) - 8.0 (high range) I am wanting so neon tetras and i am wondering if this is a good ph range. Thanks!

My neons are fine with 7.6. Generally locally purchased neons are already acclimated to your local water as that is typically what most shops will use.

That ph range is fine for neon tetras. Their preferred ph is actually 7.6. But, your tank's actual ph is less important than keeping whatever the ph is stable. Most fish can adopt to a wide range of ph as long as it is stable. But, many will suffer greatly if the fluctuation is great.
