Help How Much Salt

[firstthebanker]

Hi everyone. My mollies have got the shimmies and I would guess I need to add some salt, how much should I add, my stock in the tank is as follows:

10 Rainbow cichlids
6 Red Rainbows
4 Silver Dollars
1 Feather Finned Cat Fish
2 Pangasius
1 Plec
6 Cory's
3 Angels
6 Mollies
6 Barbs
3 Glass Fish?
1 Sucker Loah
2 Clown Loach

All are housed in a 6ft x 2ft x 2ft tank with a Eheim Pro II and a Fluvel 305.
The mollies were doing really well until yesterday, they are the best part of 2 inches long now and I would be gutted if I lost them. I have recently used a fiar bit of the water in my big tank to set up a smaller 2ft fry tank so I have probably diluted the salt down to far, but I have added a few new fish and need to make sure that added salt will OK with my stock.

Many Thanks

Ray

i wouldn't add salt with your current stock, the plec, corys and loaches will not tollerate salt

All in red do not like much salt, but the pleco and corys being the most sensitive to it.
