Hornwort grows really well in hard water - it's a good choice for rift
lake cichlid tanks.  It will even grow faster than the mbuna can eat it.

I think anacharis (elodea) also likes water on the hard, alkaline side.
Also, the plants often sold under this name are a temperate climate species
and prefer cooler temperatures.
