Well Water
My bettas do great in the fresh tap water - it tests pretty much perfect out of the tap and only needs to be treated with dechlorinator. I gather I’m pretty lucky that is the case.
I will start doing 50% changes instead of 100% changes from now on when I have them in their cups or the bowl, since that seems to be the general consensus here - I can see the 50% change being easier anyway.
