Rainwater is typically noted to have 20 ppm. If the hardness of your water is above 20 ppm, it will reduce the hardness, but since the pH of rainwater is in the range of 5-6, it can negatively affect the fish in the aquarium.
Yes, I am aware of that too, but I have been keeping 1 goldfish, 5 cory catfish and a bushymouth catfish in this water for about 3 years. I have not encountered any visible problems so far.
I have a 40 liter tank and the water temperature is usually between 24-28°C. The water hardness is 50 FR. I want to keep only one sex of fish to avoid breeding. Can you suggest a peaceful species that can live in these conditions?
