I updated two of my Aquarium Answers articles. I added more information and clarified other information in my Aquarium Salt article. In my much older and VERY basic Aquarium Gravel article I added more pictures and suggestions. This article is very basic and admittedly is not full of in depth information, but still may be useful for many, especially beginners.

Thanks for updating that article Carl. I enjoyed reading it. (I'm a fast reader and a bit of a skimmer) lol

I read the parts of teh article about goldfish, tetras, and livebearers. I saw that you pointed out a misconception about the amount of salt in the water for mollies. I use more than a tablespoon for 5 gallons for my guppies. Is that ok? They seem to do better with more salt.

I prefer to limit the salt with guppies to 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons to allow room to increase the salt in times of stress/disease. I have kept guppies in very salty water (I have seen feeder guppies fed to saltwater aquarium fish, often baby lionfish live for days before being consumed). On the other hand, guppies can live in "salt free" water as well. However as with Mollies, it is the minerals such as Calcium, Magnessium, Potassium, etc. that MUST be present. Carl

Ok, I'll try adding less salt then. I just thought they liked it salty.
