Sakura 500 Posted February 7, 2013 I needed to do a salt dip today for Luca, and since I’ve seen a few requests around the forum for a how-to video, I figured I’d go ahead and make one! Here it is. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrea 23 Posted February 8, 2013 This is great! It would seem so scary the first time you did it though. Does anyone know why the fish start to tip on their side? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted February 8, 2013 This is great! It would seem so scary the first time you did it though. Does anyone know why the fish start to tip on their side? Going from no/little salt to sea water salinity is pretty disorienting. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smegypsiren 1,315 Posted February 8, 2013 Oh holy cow! I'm so glad you made this video! The first time my fishy tipped over, I would have hit the panic button and pull the switch. That would have been super scary to do going in blind! Thank You! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rojo 18 Posted February 8, 2013 I can't seem to find the canning and pickling salt I did however find morton kosher sal. Is there another option for me to buy? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnalex 13,633 Posted February 8, 2013 I can't seem to find the canning and pickling salt I did however find morton kosher sal. Is there another option for me to buy? There are two links in my signature on salt, and they will describe in more detail the kind(s) of salt you could use. Essentially, any salt (sodium chloride) that has no additives. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After almost 2 hours of store after store i got it! the internet on my phone was kind of slow so i couldnt load your links in time and i am a very inpatient person lol. out of all the major stores and supermarkets Target was the one that had them. i will treat my fish tomorrow after work i am also going to order prazi i am moving back to the mailand at the end of next month and i want to make sure my little soldiers are in top shape for this relocation. Thank alot. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txunade 0 Posted February 21, 2013 can I just use the iodined salt in the kitchen? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakura 500 Posted February 21, 2013 can I just use the iodined salt in the kitchen? No, it needs to be non-iodized with no anti-caking agents or any other additives. Try Morton's Canning & Pickling salt. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
