Yes i have two goldfish and they stay in tap water. But we have a special droplet thing that makes the water cleaner. I am a person that changed this.....You do not need a tablet...My goldfish have lived for almost 2 years on tap water that we clean ourselves...It was great...we just got a new tank today, and we are hoping that they both get ajusted to the body temperature.
