I’d say so. Just be cautious of that PH as some LFS fish won’t like the change in PH. If your LFS’s PH is quite different. I all of the fish that I have I have bred, so they were raised in my low PH (6.4). So just ask your LFS’s PH and if it’s close enough the fish will do fine, if not I suggest maybe consider getting a juvenile of that species, so that they can handle the PH when they’re older.
Like for my corydoras, instead of getting adults, I got really, really young ones, and they did much better than the 2 adults I bought. The 2 adults sadly died about 4 years ago, but the babies that I bought are still thriving today. My LFS PH is 7.8, so it’s quite a big difference. Mine is 6.4-6.6
