Hey everyone, I had some questions about what I can add to my first tank in the future once my fish are fully grown.
I have a thirty gallon brackish tank with six dalmatian mollies, they are still young and maybe about an inch and a half long average. I do not know the sexes.
There are no plants and the tank's health is just fine, the brackish water varys a little if I am forgetful of it, this ties into my questions.
1. Does salt stay in the water until it is all gradually taken out with PWC's? Do I need to add more each PWC?
2. The community has already given me some suggestions as to what fish I can add, but I had some thoughts on what they didn't include. Would I be able to add a bottom-feeder or a snail with this kind of tank? Some friends of mine have a pretty big black bottom feeder, it may even be a catfish, I would kill to have the exact same but keeping it pent up in a 30 gallon tank seems almost too small to me.
3. Generally, how long will it take the mollies to reach full adult size?
4. I see plenty of folks here feeding their fish vegetables like peas or lettuce, and apparently the Tetramin flakes I feed them are not very healthy. What is a brand I can switch to, and if I start incorporating vegetables, what should I start with?
Sorry for pelting you guys, I just think of these things randomly and realize I need the answer. I will upload some pictures of the tank by tomorrow hopefully. Take a gamble at what that black bottom feeder might be if you can, I would love to have one.
Thanks a bunch community!
