I have a ten gallon planted tank with 3 guppies (and a snail that hitchhiked). I just added the guppies 2 days ago. Back when I was still cycling I added an extra bag of gravel and the Ph shot up to 8.2. Because my tap water has 7.6 Ph it was slowly comming down with water changes. However, I just tested it again and got this:
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite- 0
Nitrate- 10
Ph- 8.2
What made it come back up?? The only thing different lately is I added fish... But that shouldn't do anything to Ph. I know that livebearers like more basic water but 8.2 seems a little high.
On another note, I just added 3 guppies and my biological filter and plants are handling it with flying colors. Is it safe to add another 3 guppies? If not when do I know when it is safe to add more?
Thanks in advance :-D
