Cherry Shrimp And Salt?

[Mikaila31]

I'm looking to add some fish to my tank that has my cherry shrimp in it. The fish I want to add require some salt, but the cherries have been living in water with no salt. So I'm wondering can I add salt to the tank with the cherries or would that bother them?

thanks,

What SG will the water be?

Send a PM to Nmonks. If I recall correctly, he has some dwarf shrimp in brackish water, but I don't know the SG.

I'm not sure on the SG, but its not going to be brackish. I was thinking of just adding 1 TBS for every 5gal like the box says.

If it has salt in it that means it will be brackish.

Ah, your talking about that 'freshwater aquarium salt'?

Again, id recommend sending Nmonks a PM .

If that's what you adding, why so? What fish are you adding it for? Because I seriously doubt it will be worthwhile.
