Who supplies big gallons of Betta Water for my Betta fish?

Question

I don't have time to cure the tap water and the petstores sell only the small Betta Water bottles!

Answer 1

Tap water is the best way to go -and lots cheaper!

You could use bottled water, but these differ in what they contain. Distilled and reverse osmosis water have no (or practically no) minerals like calcium and magnesium which benefit the fish. Spring water will have them, but will vary in content from one source to the next, so water changes will need to be smaller to prevent changing your fish's environment too rapidly.

You tap water is relatively stable. You can use drops to take out chlorine and chloramine (you can check with your water supplier to see what they use to "disinfect" your water) and use in seconds - just try to match the temperature of the water to that in the betta already.

I just fill a couple of empty milk jugs (gallon) and keep it by the betta's tank so it's at least room temperature and the chlorine dissipates (I fill it right after a water change as soon as it gets close to the bottom so there's no waiting involved - it always there to top off, do a quick change, or in case of emergency)

Answer 2

You could always just buy some water conditioner and use your normal tap so you wouldn't have to wait to use it or spend the extra money for betta water. If you still want to buy the betta water I have seen it at Petco in 2 different size bottles.

I got your message but I wasn't able to reply back to you so I'm just gonna reply on here and hope you get it.
Hello, I'm assuming that when you said one male and two bettas you mean a male and 2 females, if that is the case then that is a very bad setup. Males cannot be kept with any other betta whether it be male or female, even during the short breeding process they have to be watched as one can kill the other. As far as the drops go they should remove the chlorine, I don't know what brand you have but I have never seen a water conditioner that didn't remove the chlorine. Just follow the directions on the bottle, it should say how much to add for each gallon and they usually work in seconds. You should never remove all the water in the tank, only do partial water changes of at least 25% weekly. For such a small tank a lot of people use brand new turkey basters to remove the debris from the bottom of the tank or you could get a gravel vac from pretty much any pet store and the ones you have to start yourself are cheap, usually around 5 bucks or less.

You can't age tap water any more -- city water contains more than chlorine these days -- you need to use tap water with a conditioner that removes lead, chlorine and chloramines. Use a product like Tetra Products "AquaSafe". Never use distilled water and if you choose to use spring water - be sure to test it for chlorine (because a lot of bottled water is just ordinary tap water). The least expensive water is conditioned tap water. You can get water conditioners off the internet at the Pet Warehouse, Drs Foster and Smith, Petco, Petsmart, Walmart.com or you can go to the store.

Answer 4

checklist seems ok, how some lid with a delicate if the fish won't be able to be close to organic gentle. And betta's are tropical fish they choose a heater, they are able to stay without it yet they do want a heater to stay a fit existence. There additionally must be approximately 2 inches of gravel interior the tank. With the plant life they could be examined for areas that could rip your bettas fins, run a pair of panty hose over them and in the event that they do no longer snag or rip they are wonderful. I never reported you weren't getting a heater i became into responding to a diverse remark that became into made by skill of yet another consumer and that consumer became into Don in case you will possibly examine.

Answer 5

Go to the local grocery store and buy one gallon of FILTERED WATER, for about 40cents a gallon this is
the cheapest way to get clean pure water. Unless you
want to spend about $250 and get an RODI unit and install
it on your tap water faucet at home.

I have a 75 gallon saltwater reef, a 40 gallon lionfish tank, and
many other fresh water tanks at home. This was a nice way
for me to top of the tanks until I got a nice filter system at home.

If you have any other questions please ask.

Answer 6

"curing" tab water is simply adding a few drops of water conditioner to it. Takes no time at all. If you want the extra expense to buy "betta water"...go for it but I really cannot see why.

Answer 7

You don't have to time to set a gallon of water on a counter over night??? Or better yet add two drop's of declorinator???

Geeze you must be busy.

Declorinator costs 2 bucks and works instantly. which will in the long run save you a bundle over bottled water.

Answer 8

You could try going to the website of that water, then order it so it can be shipped to you. I love that water, it's great but it is sold in small quantities. Hope this helps!!!!

Answer 9

purchase some water conditioner at your local supply retailer

Answer 10

Use spring water.
