Tap water is not suitable for freshwater fish unless it has been conditioned first. This is because tap water is known to contain a range of chemicals and other substances which can be harmful for your fish, including:
- Fertilisers and nitrates
- Chlorine and chloramines
- Fluoride
- Magnesium and calcium
- Heavy metals

Description
Tap water typically contains nasty chemicals such as chlorine, chloramines and heavy metals which are all toxic to fish (see Conditioning your Tap Water for more information).
This clever liquid by API instantly conditions tap water to eliminate toxic chemicals as well as helping to protect fish from stress that can be experienced during handling, cleaning or vigorous water changes.
This water conditioning liquid also contains a special aloe vera stress coat to replenish the natural protection of ‘slime’ found on fish skin.
It is completely safe for freshwater fish, marine fish, invertebrates and plants.
