depends where you are and your well water itself. Well water is extremly variable in calcium, sulpher, magnesium, iron and pretty much everything else. I would order a water test and go from there based on your fishes needs.

I agree, but in most cases, you are going to be fine to just use the water.

It really depends on your well water. Most of the time It is fine. I'd say test it and see if there are any problems with it, if there are then take the appropriate steps to removed that specific problem as different problems require filtration. But as I said normally well water doesn't require being filtered.
