I wanted to wait a few days just to make sure the current water got exposed to all the good/helpful bacteria. Plus, water changes are kind of stressful on the fish/creatures, so I didn't want to do another one right away.AKKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867571967856368338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334474409554187446.post-16095611893916789952012-02-29T20:39:43.215-08:002012-02-29T20:39:43.215-08:00How's Gary?How's Gary?Sarah Jenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703678265009452881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334474409554187446.post-61014440617092660562012-02-28T11:05:51.031-08:002012-02-28T11:05:51.031-08:00Thanks Sarah.

I was advised to use the salt because "even freshwater has some salt in it" and it's supposed to help ward away diseases and algae build up. After a little more research, I've decided that I'm going to take my salt cup out of the tank for now. It seems that my small tank with my small population of fish will probably be fine with less salt, in fact I read a few things that the salt might not be so great for my cory catfish. So tonight when I get home, I'm going to take the salt cup out and test the water. Then maybe do a water change (again!) if necessary. Then put Gary back in (if he is still alive). And only use the salt sparingly in the future. Fingers crossed it works!AKKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867571967856368338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3334474409554187446.post-34661718497975274152012-02-28T11:00:35.009-08:002012-02-28T11:00:35.009-08:00Oh Gary.

I hope Gary is a species of snail who thrive in salt water.Sarah Jenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703678265009452881noreply@blogger.com
