fluoride in city water

[aoplayo]

Well do you think fluoride in my city's water could harm the fish even though i treat it?

 

[bs6749]

I don't think so. The amounts put in are small and should most likely be taken care of by dechlrinator.

Not to steal the thread, but... My city is putting up a huge statue that is supposed to represent us being the first in the world to introduce flouride into it's drinking water. Pretty cool, huh?

It will not hurt your fish at all. Many, many, many city water supplies have flouride (to help promote strong teeth!).

justrelax, that's a pretty cool fact.

Isn't fluoride poisonous if ingested?
I thought that's why you're not suppose to swallow tooth paste.
That's what I heard anyway.

Maybe in high dosages. I used to eat toothpaste as a child.

Yes, there is a poison warning on a toothpaste tube. Fluoride can be poisonous.

You would have to eat the entire tube to be worried about it.

Or maybe drink supplemented city water for a few years lol
