I have a relatively new 10 gallon aquarium. We went through, made sure the pH was good an everything, than went back to the pet store, to get the fish when it came time. This time, we went to a different location, because it was closer and I wanted to minimize the time the poor fish had to be in the bag. Well, this location did not have the fish we originally had intended to get and had researched so instead of 3 Neon Swordtails, we wound up with 3 black mollies to start the tank off on it’s first cycle.
Since then I have begun to research different things about them. Mine appear to be happy, they swim about, they come to the front of the tank when we come near…very enthusiastic and cute fish.
My question, I have read to add salt to the water, in our home, we use basically a salt grinder with sea salt. Is this okay to add in, or should I pick up something else? If so, what?
If the sea salt is okay, should I grind it or just add it as the coarse chunks they come in? Thanks.
