Darlene,
If the container, hose, whatever, is rated for potable water, it is OK to use with your fish.

PH 7.4 Nitrite 0 ppm Ammonia 0 ppm should i remove the white stones from the bigger filter as i am 90% sure it is zeolite and leave it in the smaller one for a few more days ? i don’t want to drastically change water conditions not to kill my fish either also […]
Hi Bill, I doubt they are wild as I lost 2 out of 4 of them when I first got them (died overnight, like all fish seem to do when they die at my house). They are long finned blue rams, the 2 that I have left seem pretty healthy and happy […]
If I ever get any babies from my long finned blue ram pair you’ll be the first I email Bill, LOL. My pH is 6 and I have very soft water too I have a very happy little couple too, I’m hoping maybe someday in the future they start showing […]
Check on Aquabid.com. Post messages in their forums. I am sure that someone, somewhere is breeding/raising the fish you seek in similar water parameters to your source water so that you do not have to go through such drastic measures just to acclimate the new fish… especially since these fish do best in […]
Jim,
I’m sending my reply to your off-list email here too. I replied to you directly but often, spam filters grab so many emails nowadays but I’m guessing you get the groups messages.

I’ll begin by addressing your tap water. Most well water has a […]

Darren, Your filter system should be adequate for the size of pond you have, as long as at least 1/2 of it is set up with biofilter media. If more than 1/2 is biofiltration, so much the better. You can never really have TOO MUCH biofiltration with koi in the pond. The […]
