Was pondering this to myself the other day as i was thinking of my girlfriends South American setup and it had me wondering. Angelfish, black skirt and penguin tetras and many other south American fish, (i believe) prefer soft acidic water.
We live in an area with very hard and alkali water and many of the fish available are more than likely locally bred, meaning they have never known soft acidic water.
This brings me to my question, does it benefit the fish then, to change (gradually) the water to the soft and acidic water it would experience in the wild?
