I have a question about ssetting up a goldfish tank. When I have had a simple goldfish bowl in the past, I put water and a dechlorinate in the bowl, along with gravel, waited 5 minutes, put the goldfish with the bag into the bowl to get the water temp the same then dumped the goldfish in the bowl. II changed the water ever week or so and that's it. Fish was fine for a long time.
So, why is there time needed for a tank to neutralize (or whatever it's doing)? I know that in a saltwater tank, it takes time, but it doesn't make sense with a fresh water tank.
