most fish will acclimate to the pH in your tank. there are some species tht are more delicate and will not. There will be some breeding issues as well. but, generally speaking you will not have any problems.

An interesting exercise if you ever have the time is to pick the name of a river and then google pH levels. You will be surprised at the answers.

If you aclumate the fish to the water then they will be fine. As stated most fish can adapt to water prams. Just make sure you add them slow enough to allow time for them to get used to the water. If you don't it could shock the fish and kill them. If you look arond the forums there are plenty of posts regarding adding new fish and the proper way to do so.
