 SW> Hi ALL,
 SW> I have a Tank about 1 and a Half foot by a foot

 SW> Will that harm the cherry barbs ?
   It will KILL them.
   DO NOT put salt in  with freshwater fish, whoever
   told you to put salt in is a ignoramus.
   The only use for salt in freshwater is in a desperate
   try to clear up parastics in Fw, and it is tricky, some FW fish
   can stand a little salt, others will belly up with a little salt.
   My air pumps on all the time.
