So thank you everyone for your awesome advice I'm happy to report that the pH levels are now back down to a normal range. I did a 25% change after removing the driftwood it is now soaking (the water its in looks super nasty) so glad with help from y'all I caught it in time and it didn't hurt any...

I know that, mine are in soft water now but when i got them they were in 7.6ish, a friend has three that are in 7.6 and have actually acclimated well ( i found it odd as well).

The wood had been in the tank for about 2.5-3 hrs when I retested, as soon as I seen where the levels were I removed the wood and have been doing every 1.5-2 hr rechecks. As of the last testing about 1/2 hr ago it was down to 7.4 this drop has been over the course of about 15 hrs. Currently the...

Another really pretty fish that could live in those conditions (mine were before we got them) are golden Severums or silver dollars. Both are rather docile and pretty to look at! It's quite a site to see when I walk up to my tank or just walk past it I have three sev's that come right to the...

I'm not sure what the wood was soaked in before I'm going to call the fish store I got it from and ask him. I've currently got the wood soaking in...

Thank you both so much! i did pull the wood out last night and the pH seems to have gone down a little. I will be trying to soak them in a bucket of hot water. I got the driftwood from a local fish store.
