Hard water fish

[TeeJay]

Hey guys. Looking for some new choices for fish that do well in hard water. I have a gh of about 12 at all times. Looking for something other than live bearers or cichlids.. Something that will work in a 29 planted tank.

Mbunas. Maybe Jewelfish. Hard-water Africans.

My white clouds have been doing well in my hard water.

My rainbow fish (turquoise, bosemani, dwarf neon, Threadfin) are doing really well in my hard water.

Tetras are good hardwater fish and come in multiple varieties.

I've  never kept them but Rainbow shiners are pretty little fish.

I have tetras in hard water. Most are thought to be soft water fish but that is changing now more fish are being raised and not wild caught. The fish farms in Florida generally have hard water. I think you can get away with  them .

Almost all common aquarium fish will do well in hard water.

A lot of rainbow fish and barbs come from hard water.

Unless you are breeding, hard water will not be an issue for virtually all of the commonly available fish.
