Can I Use Tap Water In My Aquarium?
Fish are among the easiest pets to take care of. You simply purchase a tank, add some water, add a few fish, and feed them. Sounds pretty simple huh? It does sound simple but there are a few factors that can complicate things. You want to be sure you choose fish that can live together in the same tank, feed them the right food, and it's very important that the water provides the right climate. This water can come from a variety of sources, including ordinary tap water.
Now, there are those people out in the world that feel tap water is horrendous and they certainly won't drink it, let alone put fish inside it. I mean, it's full of all kinds of chemicals and things that are harmful to me, right? They'd be harmful to the fish, too - right? Umm.. that would be "no" and "no".
There are some basics that you should know when are setting up a freshwater tropical fish tank. First, the water temperature should be between 72 and 82ºF. The pH of the water should be between 6.5 and 7.5. The nitrates and ammonia should be at zero with nitrate <50 ppm. It's best that the water's hardness is between 4 and 12GH. Each one of these parameters has to be balanced with each other. When tap water is used in an aquarium some sort of conditioner has to be added in order to help you make this goal. If your tap water comes from a well it might already be balanced, but the water should always be checked before adding fish to the tank.
You shouldn't have any trouble finding these conditioners at well stocked pet or fish supply store. The fast acting ones can be added to the water as you are adding your fish to the tank. These conditioners are perfectly safe for the fish. It won't make them ill or cause them harm, either physically or mentally. Make sure that any product you choose contains a chlorine remover or dechlorinator because it's the chlorine in the tap water that causes most of the problems. Phosphates, pesticides, and copper are also commonly found in tap water. These substances will have to be countered with some kind of balancing agent that are typically found at any store and are sold in a tablet form. If any of these substances are present in the water in levels that are too high, stress or other ailments can develop. In most cases, tap water is reasonably balanced and is fine for your fish.
Other alternatives for fishbowl or aquarium water include RO or reverse osmosis water, distilled water, or rainwater. The main problem with collecting rainwater is the various debris and pollutants that may be found in the water. While collecting rainwater might sound like a good idea, it's really not. The problem with RO or distilled water is that the water is nearly pure with absolutely no additives. While this is good for humans, its not so good for fish. With either of the latter options you would need to remineralize and oxygenate the water so the proper organic and chemical balance is maintained.
Make sure you feed your fish, give them a comfy home, and use well balanced water. When you do this, you shouldn't run into any issues with your fish in regards to your health.
