And a pH that low is fine for softwater species but no lower than 5 unless your fish are wild species of bettas, licorice, chocolate and samurai gouramis. What are your KH and GH? What test kit did you use?Nabbig2;1444407; said:Could I keep 3 black kuhlis and 4 neon tetras in a 10g? Could I also keep a frog or a dwarf gourami? Thanks.
Also, my pH is 5, and I know that is very acidic. I can't find any pH buffer like limestone and my lfstores unfortunately. I got a shell from florida. Would that raise a little pH, and how would I wash it?
Thanks for answering all these questions
Could I keep these fish in a 10g?

I've had hungry dwarf frogs choke to death on a cory. The cory was halfway out out of his mouth, but the african dwarf attacked it nonetheless
Not yet. I'm thinking of moving them into a diff tank when they start showing signs. I can always do a 30% WC on my 100G and fill up my empty 20G and 10G. Also, my 55G is an improv tank. It has the filters, substrate and heaters of the 10+20G. So, I could just get a heater and filter for the 55G and set up both of the smaller empty tank. Rule#67 of fish keeping: Always have a plan B 
And I don't plan on having any fish outgrow the tanks they're in (except for the Tbarbs, and the Balas in the 55G for dithers)

Sorry, but I don't have test kits for KH and GH. I use tetratest pH, and the pH is 5. Even if it is fine, I'd prefer to have it a bit higher, incase it drops for some reason.
I win for the least responsible Tank owner. I have no test kits at all.
Except for a thermometer
