Hi,
Fish can adapt to high PH, but plants?

I have following plants, they can die with 8.0 pH?

Hygrophila polysperma
Giant Vallisneria
Java Moss
Windelov's fern
Cryptocoryne wendtii
Cryptocoryne wendtii Tropica
Moss ball
Anubias nano
Amazon Sword
Rotala indica
Brazilian Pennywort
Egeria densa
African Water Fern
Eleocharis parvulu
Willisii's Cryp

What is yours experience?
Thanks
 
Everything on your list with the exception of the Bolbitus (African Water Fern) do well in hard water with a higher ph. Bolbitus on the other hand tends to grow in that water but leaves will often begin to turn black after a short time and eventually turn all black. This is one of the few plants that really do much better with a lower gh/kh/ph.
