Tetras

[bigfish]

Hi

I would like to get some tetras into my tank but dont know if i can have them coz i have a slightly salted tank?

I'm not really sure what tetras to go for?

Bigfish needs a little advise.

Do you mean that you add aquarium salts to it, and that's why it's a little salty?
You know, I keep the same kind of aquarium. I don't have any tetras, but I have 4 clown loaches, a pleco, and a betta.

To be honest, I'm really sold on that stuff. The betta just loves to swim through the salt as it mixes with the water...

Yeah i add aquailbrum salt to the aquarium as i have guppies and platies in the tank and they thrive on a little abit of salt.

I'm not too sure about the Tetras...but I know the plecs do not do well in salt...I believe it eats through their protective "slime" coating and burns their skin...be careful .....our Tetras don't seem to mind salt (Dr. Fishwells Aquarium salt tonic) but I only use 1/2 the recomended dosage
