Peat soil is used to reduce the pH of the water. Peat is made of composting material that gave the acidic pH to the water.
Some fish prefer acidic water rather than hard water. Most of the South American fish like to live in soft acidic water.
To use peat soil put in the water and wait for it to fall. Usually it takes about 2-3 days for it to fall. Once all of it settled down the water should be brown in color.
