    All my leathers do that from time to time. Give it a couple more days. I think it'll be alright.

    that ph is high should be around 8.4 and may be the cause of your problem...I would probably do some water changes if I were you...and see what happens

    Not knowing how big your tank is a 10% water change would be fine...A water change will help replenish lost nutrients and hopefully lower the ph...
