It is best to avoid well water at all costs. But if you really want to, you do have one option. You can always bring some of your well water into a fish or pet store and have them test it to see how it would fare for a betta fish tank.
The answer here would be yes and no. Betta fish do not really need special water per se. It does not need to be filled with magic. Generally speaking, as long as you can find water that is free of chlorine, chemicals, and pesticides, and if you can find water with a good amount of dissolved minerals and nutrients, with the proper pH level, your betta fish will be just fine.
You can use bottled water, dechlorinate some tap water here is a good guide , or get your well water tested. Actually, what is pretty neat is that in pet stores and fish stores, you can actually find betta-specific water, often just labeled as betta water.
This is bottled water which is specifically designed for betta fish tanks. Yeah, it does cost a pretty penny, but it comes complete with minerals and nutrients, it has the proper pH level, and it comes free of chlorine. Technically speaking, it really does not get any easier or better than betta-specific water straight from your local aquarium store.
Ok folks, so remember, the water you use should have some minerals in it and be free of chlorine. If you follow these tips and rules, your betta fish will be just fine.
