Louise02 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 If you add some salt to your molly aquarium, but still grow plants, what do you find to be a safe level of salt for the plants? 1tsp per 10 gallons? Also, what have you had success with in slightly brackish water? or is it not even worth trying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Where are you sourcing your Mollies? If wild-caught, that's one matter. If you are just trying to add salt to improve health, or experiment, that's another. We have bred domestic strain in a planted tank with very soft water... It was an interesting breeding experience. The adults were heterozygous, and cast off a fascinating array of colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapexghost Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I think cory says 1 tbs per 20 of marine salt is beneficial for plants. Try to wain your mollies onto less salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those, that would add some color to the tank for sure but so would the rainbow shiners, hopefully the 3 molly's I have will do good with them as well, I'd love to see your whole set up.
