[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, When I was a kid ( in England if that makes a difference) we had a goldfish in a large fishbowl, When we cleaned the water we would let the new water sit for several hours before putting the fish in, I thought this made the water suitable for them?
I also had a Beta in a large bowl about 15 years ago and it lived a really long time in tap water.[/quote]

The US has chlorine in the tap water which would kill your pet. You need to let it set so temps equalize. [/quote]

DW got goldfish for DD. We have them last night and put in the bowl.

THEY ARE DEAD THIS MORNING.

I was worried about the chlorine but she said growing up in California they had goldfish and just put in tap water.

I read about sitting it out and knew that would help the temp, but would sitting the water overnight not evaporate the chlorine???

Isn’t spring water chlorinated?  Pet store wasn’t helpful. [/quote]
Why would u revive a 6 year old thread about goldfish. [/quote]

The topic was germane, and I was extending it with my own experience

It’s better to have one thread in a given topic, and now we see recs for beta in a small bowl, the larger acq for actual goldfish, and realizing that chlorine has changed in water since we were kids so letting water sit out is insufficient to condition the water. [/quote]
