Freshwater or brackish fish? - Aquarium Advice

05-15-2005, 07:54 PM

Take a look at the fish in my tank in my signature.

Which ones prefer salt and wich one's don't?
I know that barbs like salt, but as for the other's i haven't got a clue.

I just want to provide the best possible environment for my fish, i kind of just started without really knowing what i was doing until i joined this site... [acronym:df8f19115a="Thanks in Advance"]TIA[/acronym:df8f19115a]

All your fish are normal [acronym:68994c3765="Freshwater"]FW[/acronym:68994c3765] fish. Dosing salt isn't necessarily a bad thing...just not as much as you see in the directions. Plecos and other bottom feeders don't appreciate salt at certain levels ([acronym:68994c3765="Specific gravity"]SG[/acronym:68994c3765] - tough to handle if you aren't absolutely sure) hence, it isn't needed.
