Chlorine and chloramine both attack fish gills
0% is the answer. Chloramine is particularly nasty. I drink
Evian.

You can aretate water to drive off chlorine but, you can never
be sure what other little treasures have been added to the water
eg they will dump aluminium sulphate in to the water supply to
kill cryptospridium bacteria (I am sure it isn't spelt like
that)

I treat water then stir it well and leave for an hour

If you use a special tank to hold your fish water, people often
aerate that to stop it getting stagnant - say if you had a fish
room or were running an HMA filter
