Hey Cory I just want to give my personal thanks for helping me treat ich, the Ich-X treatment worked wonders in my tank. I had two baby rasboras who looked on the verge of death, and 10 infected adult rasboras, six infected panda corydoras, and an infected betta. None of them have any signs of ick and I'm only half done with the treatment.

While my Congo Tetras breed every morning at 200 ppm, They are not hard water fish. They come from the upper Congo. One study that I read on their habitat measured the TDS at 10ppm! The upper Congo has super soft water. Most people think of African waters as being very hard because of the rift lakes. These lakes have formed in a very deep rift valley. Since there is little outflow the dissolved solids keep building up. New water is added through rivers and runoff but most of it leaves through evaporation. Over the millennia the water in the African rift lakes has become insanely hard. The Congo is different. It is rainwater flowing to the sea over substrate that leaches very little. It is similar to the Amazon. Tanganyika does outflow into the Lukuga, which is a tributary of the Congo. The Lukuga has hard water but I cannot find any reference of Congo tetras living there. Once the Lukuga merges with the condo the hardness is diluted. Cheers, Chris

I have Congos with a Bristlenose, and with 7°pH and 10°gH (6°kH) all of them are seemingly doing well. I actually mix my tap water with a 50+% osmosis one, because I have very calcareous water which isn't even good for many hard water fish (i.e.: I had platys, and have to give them back because they were suffering!), which actually generally want a more balanced presence of minerals, but it might have worked fine for Rift Valley Cichlids. Just, I was worried about having to manage their aggression levels, so I decided to go for softer water. Just check your mineral contents, because even if we talk about "hard water" fish, there can be differences: the same mineral content which works for Poecilids / livebearers might not work for Malawi or Tanganika Cichlids, and vice versa.

I am on my first aquarium, a 10 gallon. My tap water is TOO HARD and in the red listed as 300 mg/L on a dipstick test. I was able to successfully use a ZERO WATER filter pitcher to do a 50% water change and voila! The water testing now shows OK between 75 and 150 mg/L. I'm so happy and looking forward to adding livestock soon! Fancy guppies and cherry shrimp.

The golden killis are great but quite a few of the African killis do surprisingly well, clown killis won’t tolerate very hard water but are happy to be over 7 can even breed. But the one I’d like to highlight is the firemouth killifish or epiplatys degati. Extremely hardy fish can really keep it in any water, bred them at at ph 6 and 8. And they’re cheap and males in breeding form are gorgeous

Don't know about your experience but coming from the aquascape side, a limestone heavy scape will keep the KH high constantly and you will definitely get hard water. Definitely easier to achieve hard water than softwater because the only effective way is the RO route.

Good advice,even if you live in a "hard" water area,the local stockists will have "soft" water fish and in my experience these fish will look like they are doing fine in hard water but their lifespan is dramatically shortened to say a year or two instead of five.Obviously they will be extremely stressed but being fish,it's difficult to observe this,although I must admit the water around here is hard but not extremely hard.✌👍

I keep GW killis to keep my guppy fry population in check. (I know some people think that's horrible, but...) They can get dicey and attack each other. I was growing our 4 fry- one inch fish in a 10 gallon- when 2 males turned on a female and tore her apart. Another one avoided the lid and got into the HOB filter impeller! How the heck that happened, I have no idea! Keep the videos coming, you are awesome!

One of my favorite things is to make lists and cross reference you videos😂 Kinda nerdy I know but I don’t care!! Just looked at your ideas for a 55 gallon, cold water fish, and hard water which I definitely have here in Arkansas. According to your test strips that I ordered from you guys anyway. My tank already has 3 albino corys, 14 swordtails that were rehomed to me from my friend, and 2 mystery snails. Thanks to your handy videos, overtime I want to add guppies, sunset platys, and maybe Odessa barbs if I can find those. My other tank is a 36 and it has tons of plants that I ordered from y’all as well and they are doing awesome. I feel all fancy and worldly ordering plants from Washington state for my aquarium 😂😂

It's so funny. People want what they can't have. We have hard tap water, so in our aquarium community livebearers are frowned upon and considered not a cool fish at all. Something for kids to keep. Instead aquariumists here go crazy for soft water species like discus, Amazon species and so on. They build Ro set ups, buy distilled water, remineralise it and keep a lab at home to recreate that water. 😂😂😂

Hey Cory, would I be safe to use some limestone rocks for decoration with some of these hard water loving fish… assuming I cleaned and prepped the rocks so not to introduce any harmful to the tank? I have some really neat looking limestone rocks on my property, but I’ve read they will increase the ph too much. We also already have very hard tap water here in Missouri, possibly from all of the limestone we’re on top of. Thanks !!

I've had guppies, fancy guppies, hadn't thought of them as an option before I'd listened to you - and they're quite fantastic. My problem was that they thrived, like "mega pint" thrived. I had crushed coral, clam shells, slate, a little higher temperature, no heater, just room temperature on the higher side. They got high end food and I started to panic. Their colors were unreal. One problem was that the tank was never ment to be a forever home. I had it, basically to acclimate plants for my bigger tank (that I eventually sold). Hence the plants were ridiculously big/tall. They thrived as well and I created a very dense jungle. I had to get rid of the guppies, gave them to a fish store. It was so stressing. I've bought a bigger tank and now the plan is to keep dotted Congo Puffer. That's also your fault.

I have a question, I have a 20gallon with 6 mollies 3guppies 3platies and a female betta and a bunch of molly fry in there. I’ve had them for like 3weeks. The adult fish don’t seem very active now as they were when I got them. They eat well but tend to stay stationary at other times. The Betta is doing fine. I’m using drinking water and I don’t have any water testers to test the water. I have kept these fish 10 years ago and I didn’t face any issue,I used the same water at that time too . Can anyone help and is there an aquarium coop community that I can join?

I wish a bottom dweller or two would have been addressed. Planning a new setup that works with my water, but I definitely want some sort of bottom critter involved.

@@justinerdman21 ive had good success with a common pond lily, i dont think it was anything special but my only caveat for using a pond lily in aquarium is that it will get HUGE and pulling it out will be a nightmare. otherwise if you dont plan to move any time soon its a great option for cheap

I can agree with val... my v. Contorta TAKES OVER tanks when added(assuming adequate light) also have had a lot of success with water sprite. Just looking for more options.
