This is worrying... All the fish you habe are softwater... It takes time but eventually they will die off due to the hardness of the water. I would strongly suggest trying to treat the bettas and then rehoming those fish ... There are some super pretty hard water fish though like neon rainbowsThe hardness could only be measured up to 300 though
I do agree with this but at the same time the OP needs to be aware that they can not stay in there forever. The hard water can and will lead to kidney failure after some time...Although hardness would be an issue, it would very unlikely be the cause for dropsy.
Kidney Failure!!!I do agree with this but at the same time the OP needs to be aware that they can not stay in there forever. The hard water can and will lead to kidney failure after some time...
Kidney Failure!!!
I need to do something with my Cardinals! I'll keep my danios because they are very old and I don't want to return them in that state. My rosy barbs will probably be kept for now.
Top five hardest in the UK! I won't say in which position but:What is your water hardness?
How long have you had the barbs and danios for? It may be the PH that is saving you... The required GH for rosy barbs is 10dgh so maybe they are a bit tolerant to higher levels.of mineral content?Top five hardest in the UK! I won't say in which position but:
pH:between 7.6 and 8.4
GH: between 14 and 21 d
KH: between 15 and 20 d
My water company says we have very hard water.
