QUOTE(cirebonbetta @ Feb 14 2008, 11:13 AM) LOL!! XD i used to age water(with anti-chlorine+chloramine(a good branded one)) for at least 24 hrs...no more than 2 days(as i usually change water every 2 days Ming Han> Ei, dun la terasa. Hahahah.  HAIR ALGAE?? VERY SMARTTTT. ROFLNewbieBetta> Wow. So sad one. T__T Like Benny said... maybe it's the way you aged the water or something something got to do with that?? Benny> You mean kenot simply just aged the water kah? I know must put Seachem in the water to hapuskan the chloramine la... but other than that? boleh ajar any other technique on how to aged water and how to prevent the bettas from kena fin rot? And Indian almond leaf (ketapang) soak in water is good right? So you recommend how long to soak? 2 days??   ) By right, indian almond leaf is suppose to help prevent/cure fin rot but if u soak the leaf in the water for too long, it will start to grow fungus(as i tried to age it with my water for more than 24 hours). 1 trick a singaporean 'kaki' taught me was to cut off the stem of the leaf and roll/shove the leaf into an empty small mineral water bottle and age it until the colour turns brownish and then throw out the leaf (and continuing mixing the 'brown water' with each water change). also, fyi, the brown water has the same effect as black water sold in LFSs if i remember correctly (sorry its been 5 yrs ) |

it can be done, although it might not be the best route. you might lose the colour that u wanted by introducing other colours.

tap water contains chlorine and chloramine and it will kill the fishes. therefore, the answer is no. you must either age your water or use anti-chlorine on the tap water before using on fishes.

depends on how the tap water is treated la.
some tap water no chlorine. others have. balbalblabla. for betta, easy only. keep a pail of water some place, leave it there for some days for the chlorine to wear off. after that you can use it for many water-changes. |
