Well i woke this morning and fed my fish as usual. The only one that was out was my perc. The damsel and the strawberry pseudo couldnt be found. well no one except the clown took the food. i saw the damsel in his stressed out dark blue color bumping in to things and swimming erratically. It was weird. then i looked for the strawberry and found him belly up near a piece of LR. In my panic i looked for my test kits. Great, no color chart. Get a bag of water an take it to ***** (hey its free) well my ph was around 7.4, i figured thats way too acidic. So i bought some ph up, (my buffer has not come in from SWF yet) hoping that this will help me out. Why would the clown not be affected by a low ph?

I suggest that you get your own test kit and check again. I sure would trust ***** with info.
The question is, why is your pH so low? What happened? What is your salinity?
