I have a good question, My 100 Gallon F/W tank has been in use for 17 years. It has been set up here in Nevada for the last 4 years. I have always had great success with this tank. (MAGNUM 350- POWERHEAD WITH SPONGE FILTER submerged ) I decided to start adding some guppies to my tank so the wife and i could watch the babies grow. I bought 12 at a time from a Reno dealer and lost most of those within a week, purchased 12 more here in Carson city fiquring the water chemisty is is a match . lost those within 2 weeks except for 2 of them. I aclimate my fish at least an hour and water is pristine. My heater is unplugged due to high outside temps. and no A/C in the house. I have never had fish loss like this EVER :wall: My other fish were just fine ( tetras, loaches, 4 OLD tiger barbs, corys, 2Blood parrot fish ( very peaceful even at night): Small chocolate albino pleco. headbang2: I went to my fish dealer here and found out that their Guppie tags on the tanks say needs aquarium salt. I found out that ALL of their tanks Have added salt to them, so i am thinking that this is why the guppys died off. ( no evidence of bullying ) OK, here is my question-
AQUARIUM SALT, I have never used it but i am told it is very benificial in a freshwater tank at an amount of- 1 teaspoon for each 5 Gallons of water, TRUE OR FALSE ?
Will this aquarium salt ( top fin conditioning salt for F/W aquariums ) be ok for all of my fish ?
will it be OK for my live plants ? ( 4 amazon swords & 2 onion plants. I want to make sure this added salt doesn't cause unwanted problems with my fish OR live plants.:eek3: I would like to get some more guppies and let them have lots of babies. I really appreciate all the help.
