I have recently moved and the water from the well is 8.0 pH and about 15 degrees KH (268 ppm). Hardness scales that I have looked at, rate that as moderately hard.
I would like to breed some Cacautoides and am wondering if anyone has had success in breeding them in these conditions?
Also, I can pull water from the softener if needed, but I think the fish/plants would like the Calcium and Magnesium better than the Sodium ions anyway.
So, is it possible to breed cacs with hard water? and am I correct in using water straight from the well (as opposed to water from the softener)?
