cold water PH

[pearllady]

Does anyone know what the proper PH should be for a fancy goldfish tank?
I have a 30gl with 2 fancy's.
Thanks

the "proper" pH for any fish is that pH which comes out of your tap. goldfish, as with most fish, be they cold water or tropical, can adapt to a pretty wide range of pH and trying to modify your water chemistry almost always leads to instability. this is far more injurious to fish than a pH slightly outside their "ideal" range.
