I have brought the monos up to 1.020 slowly, and they are doing better. The lesions seem reduced.
I was worried about the guppies and mollies in the breeder dying from salt, but so far they survive and they eat like pigs.
I’m not sure how these fish will respond to salt water 24/7/365. They are supposed to swim back to freshwater to breed, but I don’t know if this is an annual thing or just once in a lifetime.
I’m not interested in breeding these fish. I have enough already. But I want them to be healthy, and the guppies and mollies were always sacrificial feeders for the big cichlids.
Actually the monos are big enough to eat the guppies as well now. I have been told that the guppies will not breed in full salt water. I have moved dozens out & plan to take most of them out and put them into my freshwater tanks.
Again this is mostly to feed the big cichlids.
