Number on water parameters would be nice as would a list of so called
plants. Any other repely you get is gonna be a guess without having
all the facts. Any infoyou get from Zebulon alka CArol Gulley aka
Andrea NOgales would be bull**** anyhow and needs to be taken with
agrain of salt. She is notoriious for giving erroneous info anyhow.

If the water was that drastically different I would think the fish would
have also reacted badly yet the OP says they're fine. I have to acclimate
every fish I buy here or they die from what was called PH shock not too long
ago. Plants don't just drop over dead, especially the new ones that would
not have been as badly effected by such a drastic difference. Plants
starved for nutrients fade away.........

Going against my better judgment to reply to this, but fish can survive
high pH where plants will die. Plus I think saying something is "fine" is
pretty general, goldfish are tough. ~ jan
