Dora,
Again, you need to do more thorough research. Iodine found in table salt is not a fish killer. What gave rise to this idea was the anti-caking compound that was used in table salt many years ago to keep the salt free flowing was the most likely cause. I don’t have the reference handy, and […]

I had read a lot about salt, but hadn’t realized heat. It makes sense though because different bacteria have different temperature preferences.

RTS were one of my favorites to keep in years past. Hoping to get them again eventually as I’m setting up tanks again. It’s not uncommon for them to hide until they get more secure and settled into their new environment. Once secure, I found mine to be very active.
