Re: Brackish foreground plants
Hello Diane,
Maybe you should reduce the salt level or even stop adding salt.
I keep 4 livebearing swordtails. I do not add any salt at all to my tank.
They do not seem to be bothered at all, but seem rather happy. They have
given birth to 5 babies 2 months ago... the rest were eaten up before I
could remove them from the tank. In my experience, salt may not be as
essential to live-bearers as most people think. I think they are not too
bothered by slightly acidic water too. (In contrary to the usual
recommended pH of 7.5 to 8.5.)
My water parameters:
pH 6.7
kH 7
GH 9
No salt (NaCl)
