    What brackish fish can also live in hardwater communities

    I was doing some reading, and saw knight gobies can live in hardwater freshwater tanks, with rainbowfish and tanganikan cichlids, and will even breed in freshwater. Are their any other brackish fish that can live in high ph and gh tanks? (I know the majority wont do well)

    Pearl gourami just kinda died

    My pearl gourami died today and I'm not really sure why, water was all normal except maybe the nitrate was a bit high around 40ppm.
