Misquoted, that's what I've seen in just about any article or other read
material so far. Steve says otherwise, and I'd like to know on what he
bases this.


By sampling the water in which the fishes were shipped from Lake
Malawi. The exporter said that it was unprocessed lake water.

I think all the recent papers just quote from:

"Talling, J.F., and I.B. Talling. 1965. The chemical composition of
African lake waters. Internationale Revue der Gesamte Hydrobiologie
50 (3): 421-463."

Their paper is multiple site sampling. It's not specific to where most
of the aquarium fish live. Most of the coastal region are not
particularly hard water but there are some areas where the water is
hard.
