Some tropical fish come from hardwater areas (African Rift Lakes Cichlids for example), whereas other fish come from soft water areas (Amazon River Basin fish - most tetras, angelfish, a lot of other fish). Many others come from intermediately hard water areas, for example barbs and rainbows. The best solution in a community tank is to go for moderate hardness, as it will best accomodate most species.
