I installed a water softener and still don't have the water parameters you have (Gh,Kh). But, what is your Ph? That might tell the story, I'm not sure. I do know that I no longer get shimis and the Maruyama Kohaku that DID have one, lost it within a month of firing up the softener.
I do still like to find fish that do well in my water parameters. This makes good sense. It takes a while but seems to pay off in the end. I just purchased 8 showas, from various top line breeders to see/observe how they change/develop after 2 years in my ponds (QT for at least 6 months in 1250gal tank) then MAYBE to main pond if they show potential. The rest will be give aways to other club members who aren't so fussy. I also have a few Sanke going through the same routine. We'll see what happens in a year!?
