Great! I realise I am fast becoming the Forum pest and its gone midnight in London and need my bed BUT when you have moment perhaps you would just do me a little suggestion list. I am going through a new tank set up so wont add any for another 2 weeks so no mad rush. Bearing in mind I will...

Would Platies be ok in the salted water (have put in 24 teaspoons ie 1 tsp per gallon)

London!!! :D

I would love you to work at my local LFS - and am sure you have no spots at all :lol:

Thank goodness for this forum - better advice than any spotty kid working in a LFS! I think I will be getting a couple of guppies next - male/female? Its all so confusing :S

Thank you all so much for your advice and time. I think I will be saying goodbye to Marge by the sounds of things (tear in my eye) - so the conclusion of this posting will be that - (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong): 1. Take Marge back 2. Do water changes without adding more salt...

I never new I would get so attached to a fish - realise am being a bit of sad case but I am sure as another fish lover you understand. What a dilemma - so if I got 2 more females would that solve the hassling problem but then run the risk of having babies galore?

Are you worried about them hassling her then? or are there any other reasons I should follow this advice? I am getting all worried now :(

I will ask them tomorrow - they are very lively and eating well - and look fab so hopefully this means they are not stressed???

Ok dont think i will risk it - i will carry on with the salt - I was GIVEN 3 males and a female although they seem ok together - although was bit annoyed with fish shop to give me this ratio - i have since read it should have been the other way round! So when I next addd fish to my tank do you...

what is the ideal ratio?

I am a beginner and have a 24 gallon tank. My local shop recommended a variety of cycling fish and I opted for Mollies. Since then I have read that they are brackish fish and promptly added salt to the tank - they are all doing well so far but I am confused as my shop said I can add most fish...
