the only time you need to use a dechlorinator is when you do any water changes. you always add dechlorinator to any new water goin into the tank. once the water is neutralized you wont have to add any more. just make sure to follow the directions of the product you use.

No. Chlorine will break down on its own...eventually....but it will take days and days. (And your fish would be dead by then.) If you have a fish tank, you need to buy a bottle of dechlorinator - it is not expensive.

What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?
It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.
How do you set up a fish bowl?
I will asume this is for a goldfish or a beta. If it is some other kind if fish it may need filteratin, areation or circulating water, so make sure it will be okay in a bowl rather than an Aquarium. first you need a bowl, some aquarium rocks or marbles for substrate (to cover the bottom of the bowl) chlorine free water. and whatever decorative items you want (plants of some kind of figurine. this is not a necesity) Put the rocks in the bottom of the bowl, an inch or a half inch deep. Put in the deccorations if you have some. Now for the water, you can't just use water streight from the tap because tap water has chemicals (like chlorine ) in it so nothing can live in it, including fish. There are a number of options here. You can set the water out in an open container for 24 hours and the chlorine will simply evaporate, leaving it safe for your fish. You can buy drops that remove chlorine from the water instantly, or you can buy bottled water (make sure that it is pure water and chemical free). Now you need to add ther fish. it is important that the temprature of the water the fish comes home in be aproximately the same as the water in the bowl, so don't just dump him streight in. If the bowl is large enough, flote the bag with the fish in it in the top of the bowl for about 15 minutes before putting him in the bowl. if not set it beside the bowl for 15 minutes the result will be aproximately the same. one more thing. when you buy the fish, make sure you also ger the apropriate food for it. the bowl will need to be cleaned frequently, once a week to once a month depending on the type and number of fish and the size if the bowl. Just catch the fish and put them, with some of their water into another container, dump the rest of the water, rinse the bowl and rocks with plain tap water. DO NOT USE SOAP!!!! and put it all back together.

How do you neutralize chlorine and pool shock?
Your local pool supply store sells a product called... Chlorine neutralizer! Pool & Spa In order to maintain this type of pool, you need more than just to dump the chlorine there. In addition to the chlorine, you will also need to add a few other chemicals to ensure that the right pH of the pool is maintained. Bear in mind that the pH level is very important. If it is too high, the chlorine will not be able to do its job well. If it is too low on the other hand, it becomes very acidic, which is not ideal for swimming.
