Are you a tropical fish breeder in the U.S.A.?
If you have the following information, please advise me.

・ Please tell us what kind of conditioner you use to remove calcium from the water.
In Japan, we used tap water with Eheim 4 in 1.
I often hear that the water in the U.S. is hard water and the water in Silicon Valley is not undrinkable, but I hear that it is hard water in Kanto and I can't quite grasp the image.

・ I think I will install a heater for the aquarium tank in winter, but is it OK to use a Japanese one as it is?
Would it be better to procure one locally?

・ I found Petsmart as an aqua store, but is there any other aqua stores?

Thanks to the cooperation of many people, we have safely brought Corydoras from Japan.
I just wanted to share some information as I am getting settled into life in Palo Alto.

・ Tap water tastes the same as in Japan. （ I used to drink tap water as it is in Japan. ）
I still have some 4 in 1 that I brought from Japan, so I use it to remove chlorine.
As for bactericide, I use TOPFIN biological clearner which I bought here.

・ The filtering system, Eheim 2213, was shipped separately by air, discarding the filter media.

・ The filter media, hoses, and water tank were purchased from Amazon.
The tank was purchased as a starter set, so the filtration system could be used as a connection until the Eheim arrived.
（ Corydoras pandas finally started to survive after switching to Eheim, so Eheim was a must-have product. I don't know how I held on to it until it arrived ）

・ The bucket was purchased at Dollar Tree. I feel like I can't really find the bucket.


In Japan, I fed Kyorin's Vitacrin Red Beetle, but they do not eat the Red Beetle I bought here at all and I am looking for something else. I thought all akamushi were the same, but I guess they taste different.
Now I feed them corribits that I brought from Japan.
If you have any information on recommended food for corydoras, please let me know.
