Hello everyone,
So seeing as I’ve been told that my water is soft at 38ppm, I’ve been scouring the internet looking for fish I may want down the road. Problem is, so many of the fish I find myself looking at want 45-60ppm or above (at least according to seriously fish). I don’t want to make any fish suffer by sticking them in something way softer or harder than what it can handle. My question is: if my water is at 38ppm, can I still look into fish that are ~45ppm and a bit above? I’m not aiming to stick any 200ppm+ fish into the aquarium, I just wish to know that if the minimum hardness is 15-20ppm above mine, that the fish wouldn’t suffer and die horrible deaths or anything.
Thanks so much!
