    High GH might be hard to molt for shrimps.
    Low PH is good for most of the shrimps.

    It really depends on the species of fish or shrimp you are talking about. In general, all shrimp prefer lower gh. pH requirements differ among species, especially so for fish.

    Example: - the Australia rainbow fish will die living in low pH water.

    However, a wild caught Apistogramma will generally require lower pH like 5 to 4.

    it depends on what kind of fish.
