Livebearer Salt™ Support

Q: I am setting up a 55 gallon planted tank that I eventually plan to also put some guppies in.  I want to use the Live Bearer Salt for the guppies but was told that ANY salt is bad for the plants.  Is Live Bearer Salt detrimental in any concentration in a planted aquaria?
A: Used as directed, Live Bearer Salt will not cause harm to plants. Live Bearer Salt is a blend of salts that contains a minimal amount of sodium chloride unlike other freshwater aquarium salts which are nothing but sodium chloride. Elevated levels of sodium and chloride will harm plants. It is the minimal amount contained in Live Bearer Salt that makes this product safe for plants.

Q: I tried to order Live Bearer Salt from an online dealer and was told that Seachem stopped making it. What gives?
A: Let me assure you we do still manufacture Live Bearer Salt. We did drop one size for another in production so maybe that's where the confusion started.
