Different regions have waters with different pH levels, and species often show specific preferences. In a tropical community aquarium, a pH close to 7.0 is usually adequate; goldfish and mollies prefer ranges around 7.2 to 7.5; Amazonian fish such as angelfish or neon tetras usually thrive with a pH between 6.5 and 6.8. API pH Down is a freshwater aquarium solution designed to lower pH to the desired level, keeping fish and plants safe when making tank adjustments or preparations.
