Questions from Fw: [Betta Splendens] Problem with my betta
There are a number of water filters for the house, Brita being one of them, that
are dangerous for fish, yes, that is very true. Its a matter of what method and
chemicals each one uses for filtration. Not everything that is safe for people
is safe for fish.
I don't have time at the moment to offer more details, but I will come back
later and write again when I do.

Anyone seen this sort of problem with the brita water filters? I know
of several people who use this for their fish water.
I would need way to much water for me to do this but I am curious.
How about those filter's you run on your sink faucet? I know Kim uses this for
her water changes.

Problem with my betta
Test strips are notoriously unreliable and Brita filters are actually quite bad
for fish, as they replace the calcium with sodium. People on other forums have
reported massive die-offs of fish and shrimp after using water softeners of this
sort.
