OK this is a little embarassing but I have been doing salt water for about a year now. I was looking at the freshwater setups my friends had and I thought to myself those look ok i guess.maybe i should give it a try. so i did I went out and bought 2 bags of gravel at wal-mart i think like 8lbs all together i bought a tetra whisper filter and I bought a 30 gallon tank. After that i set up the tank i then bought some feeder fish to cycle it and then fed them to my turtle. After that I was ready. I bought a molly a black tetra and a red eyed tetra. I hear that mollys benfit from salt? is this true? if so can i put some in my tank? and is this tank overstocked or are these fish incompattible? any and ALL info is welcome even if it doesnt include or involve what i have said. I ALSO POSTED THIS IN THE GENERAL FRESH FORUM

mollies are brackish water fish that can live in fresh. your tetras are soft or neutral fish, they will ot tolerate brackish, also tetras should be kept in groups of at least 6 to feel 'safe'
