Yes, you NEED water conditioner. Chlorine and other things found in tap water are very harmful to fish. I suggest you add it to his tank ASAP. Good luck with everything!
+1. I don't know the dosage on aquasafe but if you have a trial pack I would just be generous with it. It's better to have more than you need, instead of less then you need.
The tank won't cycle if there's tap water. The BB will die because of all the added chemicals. Please do your research BEFORE you buy the fish.
ANY water conditioner is completely safe, no need to worry about the brand. Just please, save your fish. He's technically being poisoned alive right now. :l
By the way a 2 gallon tank is hard to cycle . You need to keep up with water changes and add the water conditioner each time you do one. Please read and use this as a water change guide.
Great job callistra for finding that, Amazon directions must have been wrong. It always pays to double check and get it straight from the website or see if the bottle has a 800 phone number in it, some do I had to call when I was using Aqueon as my water conditioner, now I use Prime.
Calm down! lol he has lived happily in his 1 gallon for months now, he's a healthy boy, water changes twice a week.
I've been adding crushed flakes to the tank that is cycling. I also added the specified amount of conditioner for it. Is the only way to know the tank is perfectly safe for my beta without the expensive liquid kit? Tank still needs plenty of time to cycle so I'll buy it if need be, but cash is tight :s
I am sorry if I sounded harsh in any of my posts. I really care about the people and their fish on this forum and only wanted to make sure you knew how serious it was to use water conditioner so your fish would be safe. We are all here to learn and share and are glad to have you with us and more then happy to answer any questions you might have.
