x3 on you're better off not trying to adjust/add chemicals to change your pH. Did you go for a while w/out doing PWC on this tank? That's the prime culprit for a tank's parameters to get too far off from tap parameters. IMO you should keep up the PWC at least weekly.

Also, get yourself a master FW test kit- they're only $20-25 and could end up saving you a lot of $ in the long run- Rosalines aren't cheap fish!

"Almost 0" doesn't sound "good" to me- in a healthy tank ammonia and nitrItes should ALWAYS be zero, no more! Sounds to me like your fish store may have been more interested in selling you fish than telling you the truth...
