I agree, but add aeration as you increase temp

 

[haynchinook334]

Temp to 86 degrees and 1 table spoon of salt every 5gal.

Salt should do the trick. Plus these guys will have no problem handling it.

 

[FishPower]

agree with the salt and upping the temp

u can use many types of salt but i like solar salt http://www.mortonsalt.com/products/watersoftner/white-crystal-solar.html

this is the same stuff that API sells in the carton but way cheaper lol
40lb for ~5$ VS 5lb carton for ~5$
