Okay, well yes, it does matter to me what kind of water they have. That is why I posted in the first place Fur&Feathers!
Jeez, I wouldn't have posted asking for ADDITIONAL information on caring for them if I didn't care about them. I have done extensive research on caring for them, and yes, I feel I do know alot about them now. I know that they need real pond water, or declorinized, aged water, so my friend has been giving me fresh water from the ditch I got them from. They are growing and are doing well.
