Though in nature they are found in very soft water, they can be kept in moderately hard water with no difficulty.

Quotes from "American Cichlids 1: Dwarf Cichlids" by Dr. Wolfgang Staeck and Horst Linke:

(referring to A. nijsseni)
"It was established that soft acidic water is recommendable although no problems were observed in moderately hard slightly alkaline water."

and

(regarding breeding)
"Remarkable is however that it was also successful in moderately hard, slightly alkaline water from the tap."



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
