i found that hose water does not kill your Freshwater Fish as long as you prepare it first. first get a bucket and fill with the needed amount of tap water. then ad conditioner to the water to remove the chlorine and ammonia. i suggest that you have a spair tank heater if your tanks are regulated and heat the bucket water to the right temp before adding it to the tank as its a bit of a rude shock to fish if you just add cold water to a tank where the temp. is warmer. its better the water be warmer than the tank water than cooler. its like you being thrown under a cold shower. when the water is right temp. add to the tank.
If you put the amount of water that you need to add to your tank and let it sit in a cooking pot or other clean container for 24 hours and the chlorine in it will evaporate. I learned this trick from a professional fish breeder.
