A warning notice to our customers .
There is a seller of Malawi cichlid's that have their own group Advising their members to add SALT to their Malawi set up's , We urge our customers NOT to do this it will cause you problem's and harm your fish and put them on an osmotic roller coaster , There is no need to take our word for it , please read this if you want a 2nd opinion :-
So what's Malawi salt? I thought Malawi was a freshwater lake.
The "salt" recommended for use in Rift Lake cichlid aquaria is probably best called a mineral supplement, since it isn't based on sodium chloride. It's designed to make the water harder and more alkaline, not saltier.
Some people advocate adding tonic salt for Malawis, others reckon it can lead to Malawi Bloat. It is neither an essential nor a recommended addition to a Malawi tank, and we would never advise you to add it.
Malawi Salt, on the other hand, is handy if you live in a soft water area, since it effectively replenishes the missing minerals in your water.
