How long does it take for chlorine to go out of water before you can put fish in?

If you make a fine spray, most of the Chlorine will evaporate off the water as you spray it into a bucket. Then it can be used within an hour or so. I usually wait at around 8 hours if I haven't used a fine spray.

Dechlorinate water with fish in it?
hello, tank water should be dechorinated before the fish are put in but if u have forgotten u can put it in after as long as u dont do it all the time. You can buy chlorine neutraliser from any aquarium or if u cant buy it u can put the water in a clean bucket and let it stand for just under a week and the chlorine in the water will vapourise therefore making the water de-chlorinated. Hope this helps mate :oD
How long are you supposed to leave a fish bowl with water in it before you put fish in it?
Who knwz ... :P
When changing fishbowl water is it a good idea to let the tap water sit out for 24 hours to let chlorine evaporate before adding it to the fishbowl?
You can just add a drop of fish tank treatment to the bowl instead, it is sold anywhere that sells fish supplies. 24 hours is too long. Get a chlorine remover remedy from a fish store and put a drop or two in the new water. Let it sit for maybe an hour or two to get it to room temperature. Then it will be ready.
How long should i not swim in chlorine after beaching my hair?
It really doesn't matter how long you wait because chlorine is bad no matter how long you wait. It helps a little if you wet your hair with fresh water before swimming, also put a leave-in conditioner on before you swim, this way your hair won't absorb as much chlorine.
How long until chlorine evaporates in sitting water?
The warmer the water the quicker the Chlorine evaporates off. Adding an air bubbler to disturb the water surface will also speed it up. I normally stand water overnight before using it to replace water in occupied tanks.
What could be wrong if you just bought a 10 gallon aquarium and had it set up for 24 hours then added two fish and they died after six days?
If your water is sterilized with chloramine, 24 hours is not long enough for it to dissipate. That would suffice for chlorine only. If you had a lot of fish, you may have killed them with their own ammonia. The tank must be "cycled" before and while adding fish to ensure ammonia levels do not rise. This does not refer to "bubbling" the tank! For good info on aquaria check thekrib.com Chlorine in tap water will kill fish as well as PH level, There are treatments that must be done to the water before the fish can be added safely, also the temperature of the water must be kept in the range that the tropical fish are accustomed to. Did you put Marine fish into a fresh water aquarium? or vise versa?. Get advise on how to set up your aquarium from the tropical fish store before you spend any more money, you can also bring a sample of your water in for testing.
Can you use bottled spring water for freshwater fish?
As long as you have a filter for your fish, it should be fine, just make sure you wait however long the instructions say for the filter, before you put the fish in.
After doing a 50 percent water change how long after do fishes swim on top?
If you have either treated for chlorine or let the water stand and then adjusted the temperature and other parameters of the new water, the fish will settle down very quickly.
How long should you wait before putting a fish in a brand new fish tank?
If your reticulated water contains chlorine (a gas) you will have to either wait overnight for the chlorine to evaporate off or use one of the commercial chlorine removers available at most pet shops. If the water contains chloramine (Not a Gas) you will definitely have to use a commercial remover. For normal water changes of no more than 30% I have found that the chemical removers are not necessary but that all depends on the dose % your local water supplier adds. I concur. Just to add, I would make sure you read up on how to properly cycle your tank and use hearty fish when starting. Like the previous person said if it is chlorine (and a smaller tank) you can leave your water out 24 hours before a 30% change and should not need to add any chemicals to remove additives in the fresh water.
How long can you go without drinking water after inhaling chlorine gas?
If it kills you, then pretty much forever. Chlorine is toxic, and water is not an antidote.
How long can you keep cleaned fish in water before spoilage?

Does hose water kill fish?
i found that hose water does not kill your freshwater fish as long as you prepare it first. first get a bucket and fill with the needed amount of tap water. then ad conditioner to the water to remove the chlorine and ammonia. i suggest that you have a spair tank heater if your tanks are regulated and heat the bucket water to the right temp before adding it to the tank as its a bit of a rude shock to fish if you just add cold water to a tank where the temp. is warmer. its better the water be warmer than the tank water than cooler. its like you being thrown under a cold shower. when the water is right temp. add to the tank. If you put the amount of water that you need to add to your tank and let it sit in a cooking pot or other clean container for 24 hours and the chlorine in it will evaporate. I learned this trick from a professional fish breeder.
