Yesterday morning I woke up to our goldfish stuck in a plastic pot...I quickly and carefully removed him but he got pretty scraped up. It was water change day so I did that and added salt at 1 tbsp per 3 gallons. Today he is acting more like himself and eating well.
My question is will this amount of salt be enough to stave off infection or should I bump it to 1 tbsp per 2 gallons?
The main issues with bumping up to that level of salt is we have 3 dojo loaches, several hillstreams loaches and a ton of low light plants (crypts, swords, java ferns, val)
Is 1 tbsp per 2g too high for those fish and plants? I would move him to a separate tank but I I've only got a spare 10g and I think that might stress him out more and cause other issues.
I would use maracyn but the tank is 85g with a 29g sump and would cost quiet a bit and I don't have enough it might be cheaper to buy a 20g QT at that point.
Thank you for the help!
