The Ph in my 20 gallon is between 6.4-6.8. I know cherry shrimp like higher ph than that. Do you think it's a real issue? If so how can I correct this prob?

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate <.5
temp 75-76

Cherry shrimp are very flexible in terms of PH. They can handle low or high.

The most important factor with pH for Cherry Shrimp is stability. Fighting your natural pH will often time cause unstable parameters. Don’t fight it, they will be fine in your water!
