Why does the public have to take precautions with chloraminated water for fish, reptiles, shellfish, and amphibians that live in water?

Chloramines must be removed from any water to be used for fish tanks or ponds. Like chlorine, chloramines are toxic to saltwater and freshwater fish, reptiles, turtles, and amphibians. These animals take chloramines directly into their bloodstream through their gills and therefore must be protected.
