Healthy axie teeth? LOL

[annabelle]

Just wondering. How would flouride in the tank water affect axies? My local council is considering adding flouride to the water (even if no one actually wants it) and I was wondering if I would have to do anything special to the water if they decide in favour of the flouride?

I'm pretty sure Adelaide water has flouride in it, seeing as we have the worst water in probably all of Australia I think your axies would be fine

Good to know. Im still hoping they dont put it in but at least my axies (when I get them) will be ok if they do.

Fluoride is a chemical so it could be harmful to your axie I would just take the same precautions as chlorine. Did you know that a tube of fluoride toothpaste can kill a two year old and also they band fluoride toothpaste in Holland?

I've heard it was toxic to people. My problem is that they dont make defluoridators for aquarium water like they do with dechlorinators so, how do I get the fluoride out if its in there?

id say you should just leave the water in a bucket with a airstone over night, dont no if it would work but it might help.

There is a significant difference between the amount of flouride in the water supply and an overdose from eating an entire tube of flouridated toothpaste when dealing with human toxicity. Too much is bad, too little doesn't prevent cavities and like many other ions (such as calcium) has a narrow range of safety.
