How long do you wait to put back your fish after using tap water dechlorinator?

Your fish can be put straight back in the tank after using dechlorinator, as long as you have not performed a whole water change. A 30% water change every 2 weeks is recommended, and putting your fish back in the tank straight after this change of dechlorinated water shouldn't do them any harm, just as it hasn't done any harm to my 3 healthy barbs (1 rosy, 2 odessas.

Can Japanese fighting fish live in distilled water?
No. Distilled water is completely devoid of the essential minerals fish need for long term health. That's what the distilling process does, it makes the water pure. Mains tap water is usually perfectly fine for fish provided it's got dechlorinator in it (to remove harmful chlorine/chloramine and heavy metals). Also, they're called Siamese Fighting Fish, not Japanese, they originate from Thailand, old Siam, not Japan! But it's more professional to call them Bettas!
What will happen to a fish in the aquarium if you put ice?
if u don't have enough water conditioner/dechlorinator in the water it is very common that the water will kill the fish and soo i would not recommend putting the fish in without a little more conditioner it wont hurt the fish if its just a little extra. but always remember to aclamate the fish and by the time its done(20 minutes or so) the ice should be melted be sure the water isn't too cold or too hot if u can just buy a tank thermomiter with a green area between the tempatures most fish need. i hope i helped :)
