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.
