Can bottled water be used as aquarium water?

Answer 1

Yes and no. It's perfectly ok to use normal bottled water in your tank, but NOT straight distilled water or any of the spring water / flavored water / sparkling water that is on the market. It's also very rare that you would need to use bottled water as in almost every case tap water that has been treated to remove the chlorine or chloramines is perfectly ok for an aquarium.

Answer 2

No. Tap water that has been conditioned is the best choice for fish tanks. Not distilled, not bottled, not filtered, but plain old ordinary TAP WATER. But you must remove the chlorine and/or chloramines first. A product such as Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Tap Water Conditioner is made for removing chlorine and chloramines for fish tanks. http://www.petco.com/product/100386/Aquarium-Pharmaceuticals-Tap-Water-Conditioner.aspx

Tap water has minerals and nutrients added to it that are beneficial to fish that bottled water doesn't have.
