Most fish prefer water between 7 and 8, and fluctuations outside the range a species prefers can stress the fish. Regular testing lets you pick up a drift early, before it becomes a problem for your pond or aquarium inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Is the Correct pH?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no single correct pH, because each fish species has its own preferred range. The ideal value generally lies between 7 and 8, though there are exceptions. When buying fish from your local aquatic retailer, always ask about the specific water requirements of the species you are choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the supplied test tube and liquid reagents to check your pond or aquarium water.
