Wow, I'm sorry, i just joined this. That last post of your's "fishy13" was the most asinine, ridiculous, pathetic excuse I have ever heard.
I know for a fact that there are quite a few teenagers, but I guess most of them are mature and wise enough to act like a civilized person.
This DOESN'T need to turn into a battle. Really, it's take the advice or leave it. People here generally post from their experiance. It's up to YOU, not them, to decide who to "believe". It isn't a matter of believing, it's a matter of the context to use. The research is saying, "Add some salt." We are saying, "Don't add AQUARIUM salt. If anything, use a bit of marine salt, as that's what the 'research' is referring to." You are saying, "You, forum people, are wrong."
Please read this article:

Do you know what an estuary is? "Regions of interaction between rivers and nearshore ocean waters, where tidal action and river flow create a mixing of fresh water and saltwater. These areas may include bays, mouths of rivers, salt marshes, and lagoons. These brackish water ecosystems shelter and feed marine life, birds, and wildlife." That is what an estuary is.
Back to the article: Adding aquarium salt would do nothing to replicate the molly's natural habitat. Also, with any additional 'research' you do, this is what you need to search. Hey, to make your life easier, I'll do the searching for you, all you have to do is look at the link.
This one searches for "black molly sea salt":
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=black+molly+sea+salt&btnG=Search
That will give you a lot of results for: black mollies and sea salt. There are a lot of them. You don't even have to read the websites! The article clips that google shows you is enough.
This one does a search for "black molly marine salt"
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=black+molly+marine+salt&btnG=Search
I did that to cover articles that used 'marine' instead of the word 'sea'.
I really do hope this enlightens you to your quite immature deffensive attitude. And to that no, we aren't wrong, and no, you aren't right. You were just reading articles, and taking the word 'salt' out of context.
