Hello! I'm new here. This board seems like the right place to ask for help.
My fish is either a shortnose or flodida spotted gar. He's about four inches and while he's growing to a decent size he's living in a small tank with my senegal bichir. He's been eating guppies and goldfish.
The past two mornings I woke up and turn the tank light on and his black spots are nearly gone! I pour in a bit of aquarium salt and leave the light on for a while and he's back to full color. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Please enlighten me.
Also, basic care advice? Food recommendations (for him or the bichir) would be nice.
