Discus in hardwater

[r.zanello]

So I have wanted to keep discus for almost 10 years, but I have been hesitant because of the hardness of the water where I live. I was wondering if any one has every successfully kept discus in hard water.

Here is the results of a water test performed by a local water company

20-24 GPG( grains per gallon)

You can keep discus in hard water. Spawning them is another thing.

I keep my domestic (not wild) discus in city tap @490 tds no problem. They are fine as long as PH stable.
