I've read that if you have khuli loaches, you can't add salt to thier enviorment because they're 'scaleless'?

Is there any truth to this myth? :confused:

I was pondering the idea of having black lyretail mollies and I've read from everywhere that mollies are healthiest with about a spoonful of aquarium salt per few gallons.

I'm still on the hunt for my albino khuli loaches, but if this rumor is true about the salt then I can ditch the mollies, no prob.

*shrug* Oh darn compatibility! *twirlysmi

Khulis can actually survive with salt, for treating ich, many people use salt, so i would think that they would be fine with it all the time.... You are probably thinking about hard minerals like copper which they do not do well with.
