It mainly depends on the type of fish you are wanting to get. Most fish can adapt to hardness. How hard is your water exactly?
I knew that question was coming! They do make something I could buy to test it, right? It's hard enough that we have to be mindful of it when picking out dish detergent and get lots of buildup around the faucets etc.
I'd like to let my girls pick out the fish. When we were looking at fish they seemed interested in the neon tetras. But considering they're 2 & 5 that could change next time we go! But if it's something to be aware of I can def steer them in the right direction.

Well, rams like softer water, discus like softer water (but I doubt you are doing a discus tank
) rummynose tetras like softer water and rainbowfish like softer water. Glofish and Zebra Danios can do well in hard water, so can many livebearers such as guppies, platys, mollies, and swordtails. Also, with the majority of tetras can adapt to harder water.

Then again, I've had a variety of sensitive tetras and Rams in hard water. At the end of the day, if everything else is well maintained, it usually doesn't matter that much.
