I recently set up my new fish tank, and I decided to use store bought distilled water to set it up because we're on a well and my father uses a lot of pesticides and herbicides. Just to be safe I decided to use water conditioner just in case, and used it in the only water change I did. I was just wondering if this was necessary for distilled water, and if I should continue to do so?

Over a period of time fish kept in distilled water do not do well unless it is mineralized; that's why straight distilled is not good. Straight distilled may work for a few months but eventually the fish suffer because of a lack of necessary trace elements for sustained health.
