Symptoms of High pH in an Aquarium. Fish of all shapes and sizes require clean, neutral water to thrive. Potential hydrogen, often called pH, is a measurement of acidity. A substance with a measurement of 0 to 6.9 pH is acidic, while a pH of 7.1 to 14 is considered alkaline. Most aquarium fish thrive in pure water, which is a neutral pH of 7. A tank with high pH, meaning it's very alkaline, is dangerous for fish and their habitat. If your fish are showing symptoms of illness, check your pH. One of the most obvious signs that your aquarium's pH is too high is that the fish are behaving unusually.
