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

Plain old tap water all the way. Never use distilled water.

PS: did you get my loooooong PM?

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.

i use this more often then not, because of the cleanliness factor only. since im on well water. i dont think its necessary at all thought. unless your water is brown or something.

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.
