Greetings from the Netherlands & Cichlid ID question

[Jexnell]

My city gets it's water from three wells drilled into limestone aquifers. So this naturally makes the water hard. It normally sat around the 250ppm plus range.
I didn't know really much about fish keeping when I got her. Yes had tanks before but, that was all pre internet days. After I got her I started really learning about things like water peramaters etc.
That's why I gave her up. Now I just keep fish that will thrive in my waters natural peramaters and not have to chase PH or hardness changes to suit the fish.

It was a good decision to sell the O. I knew too many cases where owners would go through all possible options to keep the fish and where the fish would pay the price for the owners stubborness. Tap water in the Netherlands is one of the best in the world, there are no heavy metals or excess chlorine / chemicals in the water and the Ph is always stable. I add Prime just for the ease of mind. Only when you live on one of the Dutch Islands then you should worry about the quality of the tapwater, but where I live the water is always pristine.
