ive only tested the ph level (7.5ish) only cuz someone either tossed out or jacked my fish tank box that was in storage but.. i wouldnt imagine that being a problem since the frys swimming around
my thought is... brackish water... im thinking the ones i bought were raised in freshwater and couldnt deal with the stress of the brackish but then again there isnt enough salt to bother the snails much
