We have. water softening unit and am I am curious if using the soft water will harm my fish at all. Currently I use well water- "un-softened"
 
depends on the fish
 
my water is soft too, i add salt to the water to regain some of the ions...minerals. althought im not 100% sure this will fix it but I have nothing to lose.
 
our home has a residential water softener . . . since I've seen fish breed in it (and the fry survived just fine), I've decided it seems to be okay
 
Oh, yeah. That's good stuff. SA fish should love it.
