Adrienne Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Up to the individual user. Its not necessary but some people like to use it. Some freshwater fish won't tolerate it so if you do decide to make sure yours won't react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Guppies dont mind a bit of salt in the water, but they dont need it either. Neons dont like salt, so if you are going with them, stay away from the salt. Some thoughts on salt. http://badmanstropicalfish.com/articles/article5.html For a normal community tank, I wouldn't put any in.

Caryl Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 They are freshwater fish so don't need salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
