  haha.. i think luohans are not very active fishes to start with rite?
  
  In general: good filtration, regular water changes, good water aeration (bubbling) will ensure healthy fishes.
  
  As for foodwise, i suppose u can try varying his diet? I feed my predatory fishes small pieces of prawn meat (tiger prawns), fish meat and small pieces of sotong.

  Oh, i keep (and have kept) many kinds of fishes, mostly the fierce and predatory kind like catfishes, moray eels, trigger fishes, pufferfishes etc etc.
  
  heh, not good food lar, i dun feed them everyday anyway, only once every 2-3 days or so.. feed everyday they'll outgrow the tank very quickly and not healthy for them also.

  err 1 litre of water how many grams of salt ?

  hmmm... if u're using aquarium salt i think its best to ask the aquarium store owner.. some of them are very knowledgable altough sad to say, many know nuts about what they sell.
  
  Personally i do salt baths with marine salt and measure with hygrometer, not sure about aquarium salt..
