Which water helps goldfish growing fast2007-11-24 23:43:04

You can use water from the tap but you should be aware that it can contain dangerous levels of chlorine and metals. You should always treat tap water with a chlorine neutralizer.

As for fish size it depends a lot on the size of the tank, the frequency of the water changes, the condition of the water, the diet and the amount of stress placed on the fish. Perform a 10-20% water change every week, dont overfeed and make sure your filter is rated to handle at least 150% of the size of your tank.

There is no absolute answer.

Rainwater maybe too acidic and polluted for goldfish to thrive in. I wouldn't suggest using pure rainwater.

Tap water greatly depends on the mineral, buffering and pH value of the water. The tap water from one city to the next is always different.

Goldfish need a high PH compared to tropicals. They are fine in any range from 7.5 up.

The Tap water does need a Dechlor/ammonia binder. Prime is the best since it will not effect the Ph and eat up the gh & kh content that goes hand in hand.

Never use RO or Distilled water, the ro is meant for salt water fish where they are actually putting the minerals and electrolites back in with the sea salt. So useing RO water is a death sentence and distilled water is a ph crash looking to happen and sick fish.
