I cannot believe the growth on these guys the past two months especially... just started adding salt to convert tank eventually.. they are almost a foot.

Aquarium salt isnt going to do you any good...you need sea salt

Nice! I love those fish.I have a little school of 6 myself.Mine range fron 3-4.5" though. You have to use salt that is for salt water aquariums though.That aquarium salt does not raise your salinity.Just makes the water harder.

wow i did not know that..unless my husband has been using the sea salt.. i will definitly find out ..but that is probably what he uses..he knows alot more then i do.. thats why i am on here.. lol........although this will be the first salt water tank for both of us.. it will be different... .yes they are alot of fun and love to eat.. they are sooo fast at it too..they just swoop it away.. in seconds..

Thank you Chad.. i will look into it and see what salt he uses.. i just assumed it was Aquarium salt. I know he said he was doing it slowly.. adding a little more each week..
 
aquarium salt is different from sea salt.

you can't create a brackish or marine environment with aquarium salt, which is only sodium chloride, while sea/marine salt has a ton of other mineral compounds... I'm not an expert with saltwater aquariums, but regular aquarium salt is no good.
