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

[Trish <snips36@yahoo.com>]

I didn't add salt or anything, until after the crawdad
was killed by it's tank mate....only then Last night
after cleaning did I add the Cichlid Vital....nothing
else other than declorinator.

Not sure where you had gotten the idea I had added
salt.

Trish

PS the one remaining is doing fine, hiding out in a
cave. I put a small amount of carrot in, so will know
when he has come out to eat it.
