Return To Aquariums FAQ Archive   Search the Archives Can I use tap water in my aquarium? Answered By Addison Asay Untreated tap water is not harmful to use in an aquarium. However, there is tap water that is treated with cleaning agents like Chlorine that may harm the fish. Cleaning agents are used to treat the water for drinking purposes. You may use any type of water provided that it is not contaminated with any type of chemical. Your local pet store or aquarium store will have products that will neutralize or remove the chlorine and chemicals from your aquarium's water. Generally, you'll need to put some drops of the product into water in a separate container and leave overnight for a day or two before putting the water into the tank. In case you have a fish that can only live in salt water, one way to keep it living is by using sea water for your aquarium or by means of adding enough salt in your tap water. keywords: Aquarium | Aquariums | Fish | Freshwater Fish | Tropical Fish | Aquaria | Fish Tank Aquarium Fish Food
