Okay starting this aquarium started off so wrong its not even funny first the aquarium i bought six years ago went missing so my mother let me have her twenty five gallon (one time salt water) aquarium went to walmart to get the chlorine removal chemical end up grabbing the wrong one didn't find that out til me and my husband put a few fish in it and they started dieing from chlorine poisoning ran to walmart found the right chemical amongst the mess on the shelf ran back home put it in hoping to save my algae eater day later found him on the bottom of the tank breathing just not moving hours later found him not breathing end up having a crab and a snail did research on both found out i was miss informed about both ran to walmart again to get aquarium salt three days later found my crab my husband calls joe on his back i use to have aquariums i use to have a turtle i don't remember it being this saddening and this difficult just to have a few fish for my husbands first aquarium ... is debating if she should just go to salt since she lives near the ocean and all she has to do is go cast netting to get fish and grab water or if she should try one more time at brackish water
