Rusty Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi im about to do a Ph and Amonia test on my guppy tank just wondering what would be the norm for both of these just trying to explain the loss of a few fish Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misnoma Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 pH should be close to 7, Ammonia should be zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 The guppies will cope with a wide range of pH, anything from around 6.8 - 7.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 hmmm ph at 7 on the dot and amonia at 0 ;/ something else must be up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Have you checked nitates? although if your ph is ok it MAY not be that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Do you have any other fish in the tank? Is it just the guppies that are dying? How many have died out of how many and over what period? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
