Since I run co2 and my pH drops to 6.4 from 7.4 should I be looking at fish that like acidic water or akaline water?

I mean I know most are farm raised now so pH isn’t as big a deal but......

I think most captive fish will be fine, I’d stay away from wild caught fish except for those that are from acidic locations

My lame understanding of co2 is the pH drop doesn't "count" for most fish keeping purposes...except 1s that require very low or high pH for successful breeding or as FA74 said, some wild caught fish

Yeah after thinking about it I figure when they talk soft or hard water it would depend more on gh and kh then pH
