Goldfish Ph?

[fry_forever!]

I know this isn't tropical, but whatever. XD
I read that the ideal ph for goldies is 7.5.

The 55 gallon I have (already cycled) has a ph of about 8.0. I also once read on a website that a ph of 8.0 is too high for goldies, long term.

I haven't got a goldy yet, but I'm wondering if this okay? I don't really want to be messing with the ph, because it's a pain, but I also don't want them living in conditions that are potentially harmful over long term.

thanks in advance,
f_f!

Goldfish are very tolerant of a wide range of pH. It should live a long happy live at 8.0.

Even fancies? Thanks!
