I know it's Friday night and I should be thinking about something other than my fish, but my plec has just been lethargic for 24 hours. I hate losing fish. The only fish I haven't ever lost are my 3 black fin tetras, which are 5 years old--everything else dies within 6 months.

My plec looks fine, but just isn't acting as bold. My question is: I tried to add some aquarium salt last night for the first time in awhile, I didn't have enough for 20 gallons. Do you think the sea salt I use in the kitchen is OK to supplement the difference?

I don't know what is wrong. He was fine a couple days ago. I haven't really done anything except try to raise the PH from 6.0, which never happens no matter how much stuff I had per day.....He gets algae wafers every day and has grown to a humongous size...I'm depressed....
