Hello:
I got Beta just like this one, 1 week ago, his a cute little Beta Fish! I would like to know what kind of water does he need, for his little aquarium, for the moment I but at W-Mart a gallon of drinking water is that good? I would like to know, Any comments?
OK here is my Beta Fish!!
I used to have 4 betas..I love them! But yeah Bottled water is fine...I was only using that for a while, but it finally became too much trouble so I started using straight tap water at room temperature and they were all fine... I didnt add any chemicals...but i am sure water from different areas may be more toxic than others, so you can get water drops at the pet store to add to your tap water...otherwise just make sure the water you change them into is the same as the water you are taking them out of.
Also, letting your tap water sit out over night will allow for the chlorine to evaporate. It's also like s2tp mentioned, different areas have different water.
Your doing just fine with buying bottled water; however, you will find it cheaper to buy the drops.
Good luck with your fish...He's pretty!!!

Mary andujar,
Welcome to the group. Your questions are more likely to receive answers if you make separate posts for them.
You can put tap water with an added water conditioner specifically made for aquariums to remove chlorine and/or chloramine in your tank. The conditioner will make the water safe for fish.
