C Carefree_Dude Piranha MFK Member Feb 4, 2011 1,226 36 81 Portland, OR Feb 8, 2012 #1 I have very hard water coming out of my tap... PH of 8.4. Now, I know there are fish that require softer water to survive, such as discus and angelfish, but is there anything that requires, or thrives especially well in hard water?
