Can Plecos live with fish that need salt, like Mollys?

I just now received twelve Fancy Black Molly fry and I am wondering,
can young Plecos [2 to 3¹/² inches] handle the one tablespoon per
gallon
of salt? I know that Corys can't,....Can Plecos?~Dean.

Neither are meant to, but we have 2 cory's and a hong kong plec in our
livebearer tank (1 tablespoon per gallon) and they're doing fine.

I just read at a couple of sites where they said that it was a one
tablespoon per five gallons of water for Mollys,...which is what I have
put in the tank,...I guess I will now have to purchase some more sea
salt, right? Problem is, is that I'm one of those folks who when he
goes into a LFS, I become just like a kid in a candy store, and that's
not good, because I'm on Social Security Disability, and they upped my
rent and cut my food stamps,...So maybe I'll just stand at the door of
the shop, and ask for the packet of salt,...LOL~Dean.

We have the same problem Dean... usually it's guppies, but last time we came
home with a 14" pl*co!

For brackish water the ratio is 1 tablespoon per gallon... mollies prefer
it, but don't *need* it... they'll be fine in fresh water. We have some
adult mollies in our community tank which has no salt and they're happy
enough... but without salt they're more susceptible to white spot so the
tank needs to be periodically treated.
