PH for Miurus

Post by Ted_pubfinder »

Hi

I've set up a new tank ready for a Miurus (potato) puffer. But, I've discovered that the PH of the tank is a steady 9.

I've traced this back to the tap water which comes out at 7.5 but after being left (I left it in a glass to check it wasnt the substrate in the tank) it increase to 9. I gather this may be due to CO2 degassing.

So, my question is, is a PH of 9 OK for a Miurus?

Thanks
