The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, with 0 being extremely acid and 14 being extremely basic (alkaline). Water with a pH 7 is dead neutral. This is a suitable pH for keeping most tropical fish. If your pH of your water is less than 6.8, it is considered acid water. Fish suitable for acid water include apistogramma dwarf cichlids, angelfish, discus, tetras, gouramis, rasboras, danios, many catfish and barbs. If your pH is more than 7.4 it is considered alkaline. Suitable species for this water include kribensis, some other cichlids, rainbowfish, livebearers (guppies, mollies, platys and swordtails) most barbs and most catfish. Some water is very alkaline, with a pH of over 8. This is generally suitable only for fish that have adapted to survive in these conditions, such as African cichlids - but these are large and demanding, so do plenty of research before you buy a tank for them.

Which is more sensitive to acid rain trees or fish?

Fish are more sensitive to acid rain than trees. Acid rain can lower the pH levels of water bodies, making it more acidic and harmful to aquatic life like fish. Trees can also be affected by acid rain, but fish are generally more vulnerable due to their direct exposure to water contaminated with acidic compounds.
