Name 5 Fish

Sorry, I should have mentioned that - it's a small swing and fish have evolved to cope with it as it happens in nature as well as our tanks. But a big enough swing to be detectable.

Each drop added to the test equates to a DGH so if I put 14 drops in before the color switches... It has a very high KH.

So, you have a very low GH then. Which is why you have soft water with a high pH. What is your GH figure.

3 DGH

3 DGH

Wow I have never heard of that combination before. Maybe someone can tell me how that works, and how to describe your water. 3DGH way over 240ppm KH and a pH8.1 !

It is likely that Rocky's water provider adds something to mains water to raise the pH to prevent pipe corrosion. In some places, the additive gasses out on standing, but in others it would appear to be permanent.

It would be interesting to know what exactly they add - they may say on their website, or give that information over the phone.

Then there is the question is it safe for Aquatic life with numbers like that.

Jair, Donald, Vladimir, Xi, Benjamin.

Now the question is name five fish that will live in a tank with these water parameters. The question has just got harder.

Yah... I have a feeling there is no fish native to these conditions

But do look at a pea puffer's water conditions... They are very close
