For ph, anywhere in the 6.0-8.0 is fine for most fish we buy. It's best to have a stable ph then one that fluctuates which is what usually happens when you try to alter it. Just let it be. For temps, 78-80°F is good for bettas. Yes, this one will matter. If the water is too cool for them...

Goldfish need to be about 2 years old to breed. They're also egg scatterers, meaning they scatter the eggs all around the bottom of the tank. Without knowing any more info, it's possible that's what they're doing. It's also possible the one is just bullying the other. Small white cotton...
