Hello, right now I have 3 angelfish in a 55 gallon tank with a 8.2 ph. I have read a lot of things saying it's good but it's also not good. My angelfish have little blue things on their eyes and I don't know if that's normal or not. I don't think they had those on their eyes before. I was thinking about adding 6 bleeding heart tetras to the tank as well but I don't know if the ph is good. I was also wondering if there was any way I could lower my ph?

My PH is also 8.2. I've successfully kept a vast array of Tetras, Catfish, Loaches & Cichlids - including Angels in it. No worries.
Not a good idea to chemically lower the PH. Doing so usually results in a sharp PH rebound.
 
Kept angels in PH 8.0 before. They were fine with the water. Be careful with acclimatisation just in case.
 
It’s best to just leave your PH alone, it just shows you have hard water. Unless you’re a serious breeder fish will acclimate to different PH levels and best not to try and mess with hit. Knowing your PH is high you can choose a variety of fish that prefer harder water.
