RE: [GSAS-Member] up-date : crawdad died

["Susan Welenofsky" <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

Neither are the Seachem African cichlid salts and buffer, not much, or
little sodium chloride, but stuff like Epsom salts. I got some straight
plain iodine used for saltwater tanks after that. Use half of what is
recommended for saltwater.

This isn't salt. It has iodine, and other vitamins
it's for all cichlids. Since I had read that the
crawdads need iodine, I figured I could use this, and
the vitamins shouldn't hurt it. We'll find out.....
