Hello. I live in Louisville, CO where the insane fires just destroyed half the city. Our house is fine (and so is our Betta after a couple days away from home in a kitchen storage dish!). However, we are under a boil-advisory for our water as it is not guaranteed to be clean. The complication is that our Betta has some fin rot that I was treating with daily water changes in a smaller, un-cycled tank. I am trying to keep his larger (10g) tank cycled using ammonia and it is currently showing unsafe ammonia levels as it hasn't processed the ammonia yet. Anyway, he needs a water change in his quarantine tank (3 days and counting) but I don't trust the water even after boiling as I don't know what is in it (though it appears clear). What is the best non-tap water I can use for this purpose? Spring? Reverse-Osmosis? Does it need any altering to suit him? Would it be best for me to try and go to a local municipality with safe tap water and fill a couple gallons with their water (this would be kind of weird to do but I could probably find a place to do it). Someone (on Amazon) who used the Tetra water conditioner said it killed their Betta so I am nervous about that too. Any help would be appreciated.
