If yours were raised in hard water, then trying to switch ph/hardness on them might be more stressful than just keeping the hard water. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

In that case, put some driftwood and plants in the tank, filter with some peat moss, and mix in some reverse osmosis water when doing a water change.
