Yes. Tapwater is OK for most species of fish including Goldfish. Just remember that any chlorine or chloramine needs to be removed before fish can be introduced. Chlorine will evaporate off overnight so that's easy enough but if your local water authority add chloromine then you will need to purchase an antidote at a pet shop. Remember that water to a fish is like air is to us and it needs to be constantly changed and the smaller the container, the more and larger the changes need to be. If you have more than 1" of body length of fish per 1 gallon of water you will be fighting a loosing battle and the fish will die eventually regardless.
NO! Unless you're asking if you can put bottled water in a gold fish bowl/tank, that's different. If that's the case, I don't recommend it, but it may work for a little while.
NO!!!!!!!!!!! you should never put a live creature in anything that could cause it to sufficate. ANIMAL KILLER!!!!!!
No, don't hurt the poor goldfish by trying to attempt such a feat. It might kill the poor creature, and besides, goldfish are cute.
No, any type of bottle water typically has important minerals removed from it that your fish will need. If your tap water is safe for you to drink then it's safe for your fish provided you use the recommended dosage of aquarium water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle
I'm assuming you mean drinking water=tapwater, anyways you can, and probally should use tap water for your goldfish aquarium. However tapwater will contain chlorine and can contain chloramines also. These chemicals are harmful to your goldfish's well being because they kill off the beneficial bateria (nitrosomas & nitrobacter) which convert ammonia --> nitrite --> nitrate thus causing your water quality to not be within safe perimeters. Therefore without these bacteria the levels of ammonia in the tank would become way to high and your fish would get ammonia-poisoning and die. However by using a water conditioner that destroys chlorine and chloramine the tapwater would become harmless to goldfish.
Yes! I Have My Fish In Purified Water. He's Alright Every Time I Clean The Tank And Put Fresh New Purified Water.
no,because if there in a small place they get scared and die! and a water bottle is very dirty even when you wash it!!
As long as your tap water is safe to drink, then you can use it in your aquarium, but, you do need to add aquarium water conditioner per the recommendations on the bottle instructions.
No you can not
The type of water you use in your fish bowl depends on the type of fish you plan to put in the bowl. You can use tap water, soft water and bottled water in a fish tank.
You can use bottled water but you have to use dechlorinating drops usually carried in the pet isles of walmart or in pet stores
Most reticulated water that is fit for human or animal consumption is suitable for keeping many species of fish. Bottled water could be deadly to some fish depending upon its constituents.
depends on what makes it cloudy, if it is cloudy from the tap , run it again. if it is cloudy due to too much steriliser in the water then yes. if it is cloudy and you dont know why, clen the tank and put bottled water in the tank to be sure.
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.
No If you are asking if you can use bottled water to replace water in your fish tank, then the answer most of the time will be yes. It depends on the species of fish and on what water parameters that species is accustomed to i.e. pH, general hardness, mineral content, etc.
No, not if you intend to put fish into the tank without treating the water first. Drinking water contains chlorine and/or other chemicals that will irritate, sicken or kill tropical fish. You have to neutralize the chemicals, or put water in that doesn't contain them in the first place; either procedure is OK. There are products available that are not expensive that will make ordinary tap water safe. You should also include the prescribed amount of special salt, even in fresh water tanks. This is soothing for the fish.
Bottled water is missing many of the minerals that fish need for their bodies. If your tap water is safe for you to drink, then it is safe for the fish provided that you use the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the instructions on the side of the bottle; you can buy this at a pet store.
If your fish are dying soon after you buy them, it's probably due either to incorrectly acclimatising them, or else water quality. When you buy fish, you should float the bag of fish in your tank for at least ten minutes so the water in the bag becomes the same temperature as the water in the tank. Then open the bag and mix a little of the tank water with the water in the bag. Do this three or four more times over half an hour or so. This adjusts the fish to the pH and hardness of the water in your tank. Then net the fish and put them in your tank. If the fish are dying and it's a new tank, it's probably not cycled. This website: www.fishforums.net has a new to the hobby section with lots of pinned topics on cycling. If you were told to let your tank sit for a few days/weeks running to cycle it, given a bottled product to cycle it, or not told about cycling, you have been given incorrect advice. Check out the pinned topics; they will help you a lot.
Salt Water Fish
No doing this will kill the good bacteria in the tank and end up killing all your fish guaranteed. Good bacteria grows on your gravel and in your filter that breaks down the harmful waste products of your fish into a harmless substance. This bacteria keeps your fish alive. You also never do full water changes because it also kills the bacteria.
Assuming the dirty fish tank has had fish and water in it, without doing various specialised water tests it is impossible to tell what is in it.
