Screwing up! haha....no surprise

[Erk]

So i tested the pH in the q tank tonight, and found that it is at least 7.2, maybe 7.6 blue on the API kit I use Dunno how long its been like that, I was trying to make the water I put in 6.6, with my daily 25% water changes. Im pretty sure it was around 6.4 when they arrive a week ago. I see now I def. need to pay more attention to what is going on in the tank as well as my fresh water. I was planning on slowly raising the pH to 7.0 over the course of a month so they would fit in the big tank a lil better.

The yellow red ribbon who is the biggest is the only one really doing anything anymore, they do seem to eat, no white poo or anything, but they just hang out together in the botton left corner of the tank. I have attached a pic, sorry about the quality, it was with my camera phone, but all three of them are in that corner. I want to back the pH down, but I dunno how to go about this. Also the scorpion seems to breathe a lil funny...its like his gills on his side kinda pop occasionally in his breathing pattern.

Im sorry if this isnt urgent, and should be in another spot...feel free to move it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on what to do now
