I am looking into breeding these fish, but have a few questions about my water. The water out of my tap reads as this.

hardness 160 ppm
ph: 7.8

I have read that this will not work with this fish. I had these fish before, and they did fine. I had a breeding pair, but I could never get the fry to survive. They would live for about a week then die off. It the hardness of my water to blame for that. Please let me know if anyone on here has had sucess with water conditions like this. Thanks
 
The water conditinos probably did contribute to the fry not surviveing but may not of been the only culprit. If you want to correct your water to better suit rams mix it half tap and half either R/O or D/I and it should bring down the hardness and GH to a more nuetral level.
