[AquaticLife] An entire day and 69 posts on well water, good grief!!!!!!!
Harry,
I have to disagree a little.
While Betta’s certainly do and have lived in bad conditions which is the reason for their having a labyrinth, I’m not so certain their osmoregulatory system will handle drastic changes in water parameters like going from a high pH, hard water to a low pH, soft water, without some acclimation.
It’s not just the breathing that one has to worry about.
Betta’s do suffer from pH shock, temperature shock, ammonia/nitrite poisoning, bacterial and parasitic issues, etc., etc., just like any other fish…. well, all of them except that one Blue Betta with the red dorsal fin and the red “S” between his pectoral fins. Nothing bothers him… SUPERBETTA!!!!!
