keithgh     *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003   | What I can remember about guppies is that their waste can adjust the ph very quickly and the secret was to try to keep it as close to "7" as possible. But I also remember they can adapt quickly to most conditions proving they remain stable and do not go to far from a Ph of 7.

| mikdavy2 Enthusiast Posts: 167 Kudos: 224 Votes: 35 Registered: 09-May-2003 | OK. The ph went high almost to 8.0, so over the course of five days, i brought it down to 7.0 - 7.1. They weren't swimming when it was high, but now they are doing fine. Thank you everyone!  http://www.thousandfootkrutch.com http://www.hawknelson.com |
