Fish Fanatic
Ok thank you. I seriously cant believe people aren't told this stuff before buying fish from the LFS.Hardness in words means different things to different people, which is why we always say to ignore the words and look for a number. In fish keeping terms, 8 dH is at the higher end of soft water, bordering on middling. Use Seriously Fish to find out the hardness numbers needed by fish you are considering and ignore the words.
