How do I prepare city water for freshwater fish?

I heard that if I put the city water / fountain water in a water container for couple days or a week, then I don't need to use water conditioner. Is that true?

Hi yes & no!! Firstly you need to check exactly what your local water company are adding to the water in your area-there is usually a facility on their website to do this where you enter your zip/post code & you get a detailed readout. If there is no such facility then simply email them, tell them where you live & ask whether they add chlorine or chloramine.

If they only add chlorine this is fine as it evaporates in 24 hours so all you need do is draw off the required amount for your water change the day before-it's a good idea to keep it moving with a small airstone & pump, if this is not an option then turn the buckets over every few hours to keep it from going stale & try to cover the container-you don't want hairs, dust & dead flies getting in!

Chloramine is a different story, it contains ammonia which does not evaporate for weeks unless treated with dechlorinator. If in doubt, always best to treat anyway.
