    Hi

    I just measured my planted tank's ph and it read 5.4!!! Is there by any chance, I can keep any shrimp alive in my low ph tank? not sure such a low ph can keep any types of shrimps?

    Thanks!

    Ph really low for shrimps. Maybe you can try to up the pH by adding coral chips to tank.
