Is it ok for fish to eat salt? When I do a water change both the Oscars and Green Terror get a bite or two of it. My sick GT that took a bite the other day ate salt not food, he took one more bite tonight when I did a partial and added salt. He's had a parasite, could he know something I don't and the salt could help? Maybe I should desolve the salt in water before adding it to the tank.

salt won't harm your fishes. but usually, salt is being dissolve
in a bucket of water before pouring it into tank. make sure you do
not have scaleless fish in it... scale less fish had low tolerance
with salt.

Thank you Paul, all of mine have scales so they're safe. I've been reading and learning from other posts, I hope others learn from mine too

surely they will pick up something from here. that is also the reason
why i prefer chatting in the forum than private. unless i have some
comments or idea not suitable for the site.....

I just worry that people will get tired of my constant questions. I don't want to be a pest but being here keeps me calm when I'm worried about them.

nobody here get tired of any question..... as necro said
"the only stupid question is the one that never being ask"
(hey cris... did i say it right????? )
fish keeping keep my mind at ease all the time

don't you know that fish keeping is one activity highly
recommended by psychologist for soldiers who have warshock
syndrome.

I know it's great for relaxing, my husband works 12-16 hours a day (not every day but lots) and when he gets home all he wants to do is put his feet up and watch the fish. The tetras used to be enough to keep him happy but since the Oscars it's been taken up a few notches
It's 1:00 am here, I'm gonna drag him to bed........see ya'll tomorrow !!

I think everyone on this forum that communicates daily or less than that feels like they can because of the great support we receive here. I wish we could spread this commeroderie to the rest of our plant. Lets spread the Love.. !!

ha ha ha, your husband is lucky with you. how i wish
my wife do give care for my fishes. she love them but
doesn't know how to care.

i used to sit down in front of my tank with beer in my hand
ha ha ha. i love to drink while watching, cleaning, and feeding
all my fishes.

Thank you for saying that Paul Between the hours he works and his heart condition I try to keep things done around here so he can rest when he's home. I still have lots to learn but I love it so it comes easy. How are your 2 little ones doing?
