What pH should the water be for tropical fish?
they vary on species and lake or river of species.
What should a dogs pH level be?
Normal blood pH is 7.32 to 7.42. Normal urine pH is between 6 and 8 though the closer to 7 the better.
What is acidity for tropical fish?
The acidity for tropical fish? I think your referring to the acidity of the water in their aquarium...??? Generally, "tropical fish" do well with a neutral (7.0) or slightly acidic (6.7-6.9) PH level in the water of the tank. This is easy to test using a PH test kit from your pet store. The acidity of the water is affected by whatever is IN the water with the fish---in the wild, the flora and fauna of the area dictates the PH (acid-neutral-alkaline) of the water. In general most of the common tropical fish (freshwater) sold in pet stores come originally from central/south America and Asia. The waters in these areas are slightly to mid level acidic depending on the time of year. These fish would be the common "community" tropical fish like tetras, gourami's, live bearers (guppies, mollies etc) and algae eaters/scavengers. The larger "cichlids" like Oscars, Jack Dempsy's etc are also from South America but are aggressive. All do fine with an PH (acidity of 6.8-7.0) as most are commercially raised now anyway. Don't put "wild" rocks in your tank as they could contain pollutants and be very calcium rich (like sea shells) and raise the PH to above 7.0 into the Alkaline level. Some fish (like the African Cichlids) prefer a high alkaline environment... Hope this helped, Jason
What effect does acid rain have on fish?
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.
A student measuring the pH of the water in a fish tank found it to have a pH of 8 what is true regarding that solution?
the water is more alkaline than a soution with a ph of 10
What is the normal pH range of oceans?
The normal pH range would be like 6.5 to 7.5, pretty much neutral most of the time
What is the normal pH range of sweat?
normal pH of sweat is between 4.3 to 4.7
What is the normal pH range?
7.0 is neutral.
What is the blood pH in humans?
The normal bllod pH in humans is 7.40 with a normal range of 7.35 to 7.45.
What pH number is the most acidic?
Lower numbers are more acidic. The normal range for pH is 0-14. However, it's possible to go beyond that range (2M HCl has a negative pH); I'm not certain what the absolute lowest (or highest) possible value is.
What is the normal serum pH range in adults?
Normal serum pH is slightly alkaline and ranges from 7.35-7.45
What pH do fish carp need in a pond?
pH range for Koi is 6.5 - 8.5. Outside of this range they will endure stress.
What is the normal pH range for NaOH?
7.35-7.45
Do blood and saliva have the same pH?
Normal blood pH is around 7.4 A normal saliva pH range is somewhere between 6.0 to 7.4
What is the normal arterial blood pH range?
Normal PH for arterial blood is 7.4 and it is basic ph below 7 is acidic and 7 to 7.3 is neutral
What is the normal ph range for arterial blood?
Normal PH for arterial blood is 7.4 and it is basic ph below 7 is acidic and 7 to 7.3 is neutral
What is the normal pH range for a parenteral injection?
