Will it hurt your betta fish if you don't wait 24 hours to put it in the tank?
The betta itself doesn't have to wait 24 hours, but the water in the tank needs to have had conditioner put in it to take out the chlorine and ammonia. When you want to put the fish in, float the bag it is in in the tank water for at least half an hour so they reach the same temperature. Then add a little of the tank water to the bag, so he gets used to the new water chemistry. Wait a while longer, and then you can release it into the tank. If the change in temperature and chemistry are too sudden, the fish will go into shock and possibly die.

Some people do not believe it but the best water to use in your betta fish tank is tap water. Bottled and distilled water has been "purified" and does not have the minerals that your Betta fish needs. If your tap water is so bad that you do not even drink it, than use spring water.
