Diamond Tetras and high Ph

[NewAquaMom]

Hello, I had a quick question and wanted some more experienced opinions. I have four really healthy Diamond Tetra (Red Eye tetra, I think is another name for them) These guys are alot of fun and I wanted to put them in a bigger tank that has alot of holey rock. I've read several places that you are to never put tetra with anything that is heavily alkeline. Is this a hard and fast rule or has anyone had other experiences?
Thank you

I thought all the tap water around here is pretty alkaline...

I have seen rummy nose tetras faces melt off because of high akaline water or atleast that is what I was told.

Not sure about others.

Most tetras do well in a tank with driftwood & live plants.
