    Default Water conditioner/equivalent to ReptiSafe

    I realize this could probably go in 'general' but seeing as all my frogs are pacmen, I wanted to put it here.

    I didn't realize I was completely out of Reptisafe - thought I had an extra bottle so was unconcerned as I ran out yesterday - until going to change my guys' water dishes, just now. I do have on hand some water conditioner for betta fish. Is it similar enough that it won't hurt to use for one day, or would it cause less harm to have tap water for a day? No time to run to the pet store tonight =\

    Stupid little dilemma. Figured I'd see if anybody had any suggestions.

    (One of these days I will get around to formally introducing myself!)

    What's good for the betta is good for the frog.

    I was going to ask the same thing! I'm assuming the product in question is a water de-chlorinator? That's what I was going to use for mine The one I use for my fish is called Aqua Plus and I just assumed that it would be safe for frogs too

    What does it advertise to remove? and is it ph buffered?

    I just went out and bought more ReptiSafe, so I'm no longer using the betta conditioner but... what I had been using was "Betta Water Conditioner" which "reduces harmful chlorine, chloramine, and heavy metals." No specific chemicals listed, nothing about its effect on pH. I figured I'd be safer with the ReptiSafe anyway.

    Those things are usually all the same, just some have aloe vera extract in them.
