Adding rummynose tetra in high ph water | 水產百科網

I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

I currently have 3 guppies, 3 silver-tip tetra and 1 platy in my tank. I have done all of the usual tests and my ph is quite high (8.2). All other tests for nitrates, nitrites, amonia etc all fine and 0.

I tried to add 3 rummy-nose tetra to my tank and they all died the same night.I did add them gradually (a little water in the bag at a time etc to acclimatise them) but was wondering if it was because the ph was too high for them over all.

The water in my area is quite high anyway (about 7.6 - according to 1 pet store).

Does anyone have any advise? Is it wise to try to lower the ph of the tank? I see many posts against it but I really would like to keep these successfully.

Thanks.
