What fish will thrive in a hardwater, slightly alkaline aquarium?

I and my friend have been keeping guppies for the past few years, but we’d like to try something different. We both have hard, slightly alkaline water.

Now, we both enjoy breeding fish, so we’d prefer something that breeds in capitivity. It doesn’t matter what their breeding method is, we’re up for just about anything.

Thanks in advance!

If you have hard, alkaline water you could try rift lake cichilds. You’d want your pH to be 7.8 or above though… Malawi’s like it in the 8.0 range and Tanganyikans like high 8 to low 9 pH (those are the names of the lakes they come from, btw) Cichlids are mouth brooders and although they are generally easy to breed (some species) they are aggressive and need larger tanks (at least 30 gallons if you’re not doing shell-dwellers) and special consideration needs to be taken in setting up their tank. They come from a rocky environment and need lots of places to hide. Especially from aggressive males. Don’t know if this was more than you were looking for, but goodluck!
