Dont take this as gospel but I believe all will be ok with a neutral PH level, which is 7.0.

I would wait on a second opion though as I am just a keen amatuer

you should be ok with a neutral ph your gourami & tetras are ok with that ph dont know shark by that name so cant help there & what is your algee eater? if its a common plec then it should be ok as well

exact water parameters arent as important as stable water parameters. I've kepts healthy tanks of dwarf gouramis and tetras in 8.2-8.4 water...those fish come from places with ph in the 6's...so unless youre going to filter thru peat or inject co2 or the like leave ph alone...can get you into trouble. Especially with chemicals to lower or raise the ph, these cause the ph to rise and fall which is extremely stressful to the fish. I'd say that if your ph is anywhere from low 6's to mid 8's you should be able to keep most fish healthy with just regular weekyl water changes.

I think you need to reply on the post that you have already made. Instead of making a new one.
