Betta Fish Water
Betta Fish Water
What is the best type of water for Betta fish?
I purchased my first Betta fish yesterday. My primary concern was what is the best type of water for my Betta fish. I thought I remembered that my daughter-in-law told me she uses distilled water. However, after researching the Internet it seems that tap water is the best for Betta fish as long as you use a declorinator or let the tap water sit out for 24 hours. Many people on the Internet state that even though they let their tap water sit for 24 hours, they still use a declorinator. Some people said all you have to do is let the tap water sit for 24 hours and the chlorine disappears. This is where I am confused. Can someone give me a definite answer to the question of whether or not you have to also use a declorinator in tap water when you let it sit for 24 hours or is letting the tap water sit for 24 hours enough on its own?
You still need to add a dechlorinator even if you let it sit for 24hrs. The only reason that you do this is to let the gases in the water raise up to the surface and release into the air. This is seen as little bubbles that sit on the side of the glass that eventualy raise up to the top of the water and pop. You can help this along by leaving the lid off of the container of water for 24hrs (I’ve heard up to 3 days), then tapping the side of the jug to help release the clinging bubbles. This makes for healthier water.
Oh, and bettas may survive for a little while in a jar with no filter, heater, aeration, but they will NEVER thrive. Why be unneccesarily cruel to animals that way. Like any other fish bettas deserve filtration, heat, more space than a jar, and the best care you can give them.
