Default Mmmmm...., you salted my Algae

I thought I'd add some salt to the tank to prevent whatever is bothering
Panfry from affecting the other fish. I've read a lot of pros and cons about
salt, so I was a little hesitant. The recommended dose seems to be about one
tablespoon for every five gallons, which in my case is about a cup of salt.
This seems like a lot, so I decided to add half today and half tomorrow. It
took a while for the 'aquarium salt' to dissolve, so I came back to check on
them in an hour. They were all sucking on the Algae where I had dumped the
salt. All except Panfry that is, but he has a bad case of fungus lips. So
they might be sensitive.

He'll be getting his PP treatment closer to the weekend, when I can watch
his progress more closely.
