So, since the death of my great friend, I had to find a new pet to love and enjoy. I already had a goldfish so I updated the take and bought more. I love my fish. It's funny becuase they're just fish but it's more then that... they're my fish. I love them. I dont love them as  uch as I loved Milo but i do love them. The thing is, I can't get the PH down... it's like.... 8.4 or 7.4... Still pretty high... i have a tester and have acid to put in the tank but it wont go down! I've treated it 5 times! I'm getting pretty tired of doing it and i'm worrying about them. I can't figure it out. I've even thought about putting an orange in the tank  to put more acid in it. LOL I dunno. My alge fish died so i have to get another. I have the worst of luck. I want my goldfish to die so my little fishies can live in peace but he's the only one who wont die! LOL I'm never going to have a good pet like a dog. My fish never stay alive long enought to enjoy them, expecially the ones I'm attached to.... Uhg. Anyone have any advise?
