Answer
Manish,
Regular tap water is best for your fish. Just remember to add a water conditioner to the clean water being replaced. The conditioner remove the chlorine and other things from your tap. Water changes are done weekly by removing 25% of the water and replacing it with clean conditioned water that is the same temperature as the main tank's water.
