Yeah, but Mollys are hardiest.

they are also so stupid and do not understand saltwater things.

Ive seen them litterally swim into a groupers mouth because they are that stupid... or see clowns swimming into anenomes and think its OK for them to do it, only to get eatten by one.

I love all the ideas of the mini sea creatures! Imagine a tank with mini manta rays, mini sea turtles, and peaceful mini sharks. It would be amazing!

I’ve kept multiple freshwater tanks and once they decide to bite the tail of a fish that had fin rot don’t ask how I got fin rot. And it died. When you think that they’re dumb, I’ve seen them swim into cichlid territory and get killed. I agree that there were the dumbest but they are hardy Don’t ask how this happened but at one point a little bit of ghost pepper got into the tank and all the fish died but Molly and by the way they live in fresh and brackish environments so how are they supposed to know that anemone is dangerous?

there are many saltwater fish that probably don't interact naturally well with other organisms either. Heck, the ocean is so big there are probably thousands of species of fish that haven't ever seen coral or anemone either

A trident style tester that tested for all parameters including nutrients and that dosed every element individually to perfection.
The new trident apparently will be testing nutrients, so looking forward to that. Not looking forward to the price tag.

I thought it only did nitrates and phosphates and did not also include alkalinity, calcium and magnesium. That’s the one I’m holding out for!
