Some types of fish do live in acidic water. Water with a PH level below 7.0 is considered acidic water. The lower the PH the more acidic the water, the more acidic the water the more aluminum is released which is unsafe for fish. Also, the more acidic the water the lower the dissolved oxygen content is. So having water too acidic for the type of fish that inhabits the water is keeping the fish deprived of proper oxygen levels which results in lower body weight, stunted growth, lethargic behavior, fish eggs being unable to hatch, shorter life spans and death.
