Craziiininja Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) I ordered amazon sword, anubias coffefolia, anubius gold coin, italian val, jungle val, windelov java fern, and dwarf aquarium lily from the co op. Do these plants listed tolerate hard water well. I ordered praecox rainbows and would prefer to have harder water but my water out the tap is soft so I can do either. Thanks for any help.

FlyingFishKeeper Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think I read somewhere that all plants prefer hard water but the reason that you don't find soft water plants in hard water naturally is because they can't process bicarbonates. I might be completely wrong about this so take it with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craziiininja Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ok I'll look into it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I have hard water from my well, and I grow all those plants listed in my tanks with no issues. A lot will also depend on the nutrients available to them, so be sure to use liquid ferts for the anubias, and some root tabs for the sword plants and val plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
