Fish Newbie!
I'm buying a 30 gallon soon and I wanted to get 2 Dalmatian Molly's to occupy the tank as well as one other fish. From reading endless articles is it true that I would have to add aquarium salt with the Mollies??? If so would that be harmful or annoying to the other fish that I choose to be a tankmate. Is there anyone that has DM and if so what plants and food do you think they seem to enjoy. I was thinking of getting a few gold ribbon plants but there are sooooo many to choose from but I would feel more comfortable with one's that are easy to care for.

Also if I might add that the tank cycling has my nerves in overdrive!! I read a very good and detailed post to start off set up My tank minus the fish add Tetra safestart and that I should test daily with a paperless test kit for accuracy and use Prime as the water conditioner, add ammonia in the mornings then in the evening test for ammonia and nitrite. Huh After a few weeks of adding ammonia and testing plus partial water changes as well as ammonia/nitrite readings at 0 the tank should be properly cycled. What do you think?? Help
