Q2

Suitable pH for fish pond is

A.
6.5
Answer
B.
6.0
C.
7.0
D.
6.1

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Suitable pH for fish ponds is 6.5.
An acceptable range would be 6.5 to 9.0, but most suitable pH is 6.5. Fish can become stressed in water with a pH ranging from 4.0 to 6.5 and 9.0 to 11.0.
A higher water pH can become especially dangerous for pond fish, as both high pH and high temperatures will increase the toxicity of ammonia in water.
