    I use this one from Exo Terra to dechlorinate the water :

    Exo Terra : Aquatize / Terrarium Water Conditioner

    Do you think it is safe ?

    From what I understand Prime is widely used and recommended for fish. And yes, it is just 2 drops per gallon. I have been told that some dechlorinators aren't safe for frogs, but don't remember where I read that. I know that Prime is considered safe, and I use it myself, although I tend to add 3 - 4 drops per gallon just to be on the safe side.

    IMO Prime is some of the best stuff out there. I use it for my fish and all my reptiles.

    Plus, if you screw up and put too much in the water, it can get up to about 5 times the recommended amount before it actually starts causing problems for the animals. Not that that's likely to happen, but it's nice to know that if I accidentally put one too many drops in a gallon, I won't poison my pets.

    Funny I have heard the same thing that dechlorinators are not good for amphibians, although without proofs, so that's the end of it.

    Haha, I think that's why many people recommend Prime---you get more bang for your bucks. The instruction seemed too good to be true, lol! But you're safe to follow it.

    GRABibus I believe that's an excellent choice. Provides everything needed in a water conditioner for amphibians.
