Ph 7.6 in betta tank?

[depan89]

Hey guys!!

I have been using API test strip for testing pH till yesterday and it was showing somewhere 6.5 to 6.8 (I'm really not sure. Will attach pictures). SO today my master kit arrived and when tested it showed a whooping +1. (7.6) Is this safe for a betta tank? My tank is cycling with my betta in. (I know, I made a mistake ). If this is not safe for betta, how do I reduce the pH? Thanks in advance!

The reading below are before Water change taken today. this is the order: Tank Water pH, Tap Water pH, Tank Water Ammonia, Tank Water Nitrite




Edit: I just did a 50% water change and double dosed(1.5ml) with Prime. My tank is 10 gallon and there is only one betta with couple anubias and 3 moss balls

I wouldn’t remotely worry about the ph. Especially as your ammonia and nitrite levels are elevated. Grab a bio booster, do a 50% wc and treat with prime or the like to neutralize.

PH will be fine. It's better to have a stable PH than to try to adjust and regulate it with chemicals. Most fish can adapt to the PH you have.

Yes I have just did the 50% water change. With double dosage of prime (1.5ml). My tank is 10 gallon
