Will livebearers be ok in soft water?

Hi everyone!

I want to add some live bearers to my 107 gallon and the water is soft -pH 7.3, dh 7.5.
Will livebearers like guppies and mollies be ok in this water?
I don't really want to harden the water because I have tetras in there and I also want to add rams.

Thanks!

Your pH is actually spot on for both the mollies and guppies.

Guppies pH 7.0 - 8.0
Mullies pH 7.5 - 8.2

They will be less comfortable in soft water.
