Well I help my uncle out with his tank and everything. i havent been over there in a couple weeks and i went there because he went on vacation this morning and ours gold severum looked dead so i went to scoop him with the net and he started swimming a bit and laid down again i checked the PH and it was really low and i put some ph increase into it and it went up but i couldnt do too much cuz it says not to raise it one number as in like 6.0 to 7.0 and it went to about 6.5 and he swims a teeny bit now and then lays to the side like this anybody know wat to do? i dont wanna lose the fish while he is away?
