G'day Dweebs

Here's a question for the bass player (or is the bass playing with him?),
it was posted to the killies list originally. Is he (Fred) full of shit
or not based on our earlier discussions?

Subject: Salt additives

There is a short note by Fred Behrmann in the latest JAKA that says he has
come to the conclusion "that calcium silicate, the anti-caking additive
used in Morton plain salt is a killer of adult fish and is responsible for
spine deformities in ten-day old fry." Almost all salts purchased in
supermarkets, with the exception of rock salt, have some additive. Does
anyone else have experiences like Fred's or want to comment on this?
