feed cat food and they do great, she never gets heavy rains, never
gets predator problems, never does any trolling on usenet, always a
victim.........just shut the hell up carol gulley and get a life you
moron.Maybe go out and look for a new hubby to replace #6 would be a
good thing to kep you occupied for awhile, then you could change your
last name again and hide and plead innocent victim as always.....

Watch the hardness as rain water can make the water too soft and even
acid
depending on where you live (acid rain). Also it has no buffering
capacity. A PH crash can kill all your fish.

What do you do after a heavy rain? Large water changes?
============================
Nothing. We seldom get rain heavy enough and long enough to drop the PH (or
hardness) much. The PH is as high as 8.2 here so getting enough rain to
drop it to or below 7 is unlikely. When that days comes I'll start building
an Ark. :-))

You said the tank was "full of rainwater." Fish can't live in pure
rainwater.
