Is bottled water safe for fish?
Yes, bottled water can be safe for fish as long as it does not contain any harmful chemicals or additives. It is important to check the label to ensure that the water is free from chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants that could harm the fish. Additionally, it is recommended to use water conditioner to remove any chlorine or chloramine before adding the water to the fish tank.
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.

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
Can you use chlorine water for aquarium?
Yes, as long as you use a de-chlorinator, this can safely be done. Make sure the de-chlorinator destroys both chlorine and chloramines- many only remove one of the two. If you can find a de-chlorinator that also destroys ammonia, than that is an added bonus as it will come in handy when dealing with ammonia spikes when cycling an aquarium.
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.
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.

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.
