Whenever you do water changes you need to replace the amount of salt you removed. So for every 5 gal you need to add one rounded tablespoon of aquarium salt back in. As far as ordering fish on line. I have ordered Siamese Algae eaters from Aquariumfish.net and was very pleased. I also won some fish on aquabid, again, I was happy with the transaction and the fish I received. But unless it is something you just absolutely cannot find at you LFS or they cannot get for you via special order, I would rather see the fish myself like OldSalt. Most specialized petstores (not chain stores like Petsmart and Petco, I know they do not do special orders) will try to get you the fish you want. I managed to get 4 L46 and 7 zebra otos thru special orders from my LFS and they turned out to be in great shape.
