Default lowest PH for red?

Guys, I heard from a hobbyist if PH is always at 3-4? Will it cause wrinkles on the head area and shorten lifespan of a RED. Really?

Color I not sure. Still newbie for reds. But I kept my pH at 6.5 with help from oyster shell and my juvenile reds' appetite is amazing. Eating full twice a day no problem. Till I restrict their food intake.

No worries, Bro streetsmart my tap ph is 7-7.5 always. But will drop in few days to PH 5-6.

Well, Yes, It's may sound funny to most pro here to see this kind of question.
The reason why I asked is because I heard from someone that red should not maintain PH at 4-5 as too acid will cause fish to age fast which will cause wrinkles and short lifespan etc.

(Please don't quote me I just wanna clear this doubt) haha.
