    Chlorine in the Water

    I just picked up my first BP today. He is georgeous. For the question. Can i use just regular Dechlorination liquid used for fish tanks or do i need a special kind. Also, should i use a certain type of water? I bought Distilled water from wally world. Thanks, Dustin

    Re: Chlorine in the Water

    i use tap water or bottled water what ever is closer to me at the time. never had issues with either. your BP will drink it rarely any how. ive only ever caught mine drinking after eating a few times. washing down the juciy fuzzies i feed him.

    If you let tap water stand for 24 hours, any chlorine content will have gassed off by the time you need it.

    Whatever my own water bottle has in it. If it's new and distilled, they get that. If it's filled with tap water, they get that.

    Same thing I was about to say. Let the water sit for a while and you will be fine.
