Shar Mineral water has higher than usual amounts of minerals that might not agree with fishies... i would not use it... however, once in a while i supplement my fish tank with one or two bottles of the stuff... it's just that changing water with it will probably cause some shock... |

Shar The bottlers are under no obligation to keep the same recipe. In fact they probably use more than one bottling facility, so your bottle's water parameters may vary by batches. For fish, stability in water parameters is good, so if using bottled water, use small water changes often if you are not certain of the water's parameters. ymmv NetMax |
