F8's full SW?
I went to one of my many LFS's today and i saw somthing that genuinely freaked me out. They had 3 F8's in full SW. They looked so wrong in there and i didnt think they could tolerate that much SW. What is your input?

I bet they don't last long in there, that's my opinion.

Tolerate & thrive are two totally different things. I don't doubt that they could tolerate the SW, but would they thrive - probably not.OrandaLover wrote:I went to one of my many LFS's today and i saw somthing that genuinely freaked me out.

I had to do it for a period once while waiting for a tank to cycle. They don't seem harmed by it, and I'd say it's better than fresh water, but not ideal.
