Description: pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of water and is a very important parameter in the biology of aquatic organisms. The scale runs from zero to 14. Zero is the most acidic and 14 is the most basic. The pH scale is not linear but logarithmic, therefore a change of 1 pH unit, for example from 7 to 6 means that the water is 10 times more acidic. pH values in natural waters around the world vary considerably: from acid South American Jungle streams (pH 5-7) to alkaline African lakes (pH 8-9). Many fish'species have adapted to a wide pH range and are therefore not demanding with regards to the pH value in the aquarium. Some species, however, have only adapted to a very narrow pH range and as a result of this may require a specific pH value in the aquarium. This is especially important when one wants to breed these fish's. Many freshwater fish'species have been bred in captivity for several generations, such that their natural pH preference for reproduction may have disappeared. On the other hand, wild caught fish's are still being imported. To know the specific requirements for your fish you should consult a reference book and your fish dealer. The pH is also important for growing water plants. Above pH 8 most aquarium plants are unable to grow, since this pH value prevents the uptake of CO2. The most favorable pH range for freshwater plants is pH 6.4-7.2. The pH of the aquarium water influences the chemical form of certain dissolved compounds. This phenomenon is especially important in the case of Ammonia. This waste product of fish can exist as relatively harmless Ammonium ions (NH4+), or as toxic Ammonia (NH3). At a higher pH the percentage of toxic Ammonia increases, making Ammonia toxicity a more serious threat than in water with a lower pH.
