8.0 is a little high, dont archers prefer a little acidic water?

its a brackish tank puffer punk keeps saying to leave it at 8.0 but my lfs said to keep it at at 7.0 so should i leave it at 8.0 or should i keep it at 7.0 and yes there were bite marks in the leaves i did a water change today and removed the java fern but the archer already died:(
 
def wasnt the java ferns that killed the fish, is it a new fish to the tank? if so at the fish store that you got it from if their water perimeters are different from yours that might be the reason it died. sometimes lfs keep brackish fish in fresh water mostly because they dont know, you have to gradually add salt to the tank once you get the fish
