Getting A Betta - Have Some Questions

[Jessika]

Soo i shouldn't be using store water, i do put the water purifier in it. Our water is well water the has some copper in it that has killed several betta fish. I have had my betta fish two weeks with the store spring water and it is very healthy!

What I've been told to do while working at PetCo and we got a shipment in, was to strain the fish into a net over a sink, then transferring the fish to the tank

They do have water treatment, so it is safe to use tap water so long as you treat it properly first

i used the treatment and my brother and I lost 5 bettas right after another, i fed completely different food from my brother

Copper shouldn't kill the fish, unless it is high enough to be toxic levels, since copper is used as a medication. I'll bet it was something else.
