This isn't a new setup as I've had it up and running for a good 6 months. What I meant by prepping is I'm removing the larger more aggressive fish to make room for smaller fish I will be putting in. I add the salt to the tank as a preventative measure to get rid of any parasites/diseases that may be...

Clown Loaches & Salt

I'm prepping my 90gal tank for some Clown Loaches that I'll be picking up in the next 2 weeks or so. The question I have is how well do they tolerate salt?

Severums with Clowns?

The water requirement are similar and I already have some drift/mopani wood in the tank to soften the water a bit. Think thi...
