Is the tap water in Las Vegas, Nevada safe for freshwater aquarium fish How about water softeners
I'm moving from southern California to Las Vegas and I have freshwater fish. Oscars and a community tank . I've heard that water softeners are ok to use if you use magnesium instead of salt and replace the removed minerals and adjust the ph back to neutral. Is that true, or will the fish be better off with straight untreated water from the tap?
Answers:Regardless of how wonderful your tapwater is, I would reccomend at least using some kind of water stabalizing solution (StartRight, AquaSafe, etc.) to neutralize the chlorine and mineral levels of the water before adding fish. I have been using StartRight for five years everytime I do a water change, or, in the event of moving, adding all new water. If you use a stabalizing solution, you should be A-OK.
Depends on the fish. Some fishes prefers slightly acidic water wile others alkaline water. Do what you think is right. ^^
depends with the fish but let the clorine out first
