    When you have unilateral Popeye and cloudy eye it usually caused by an injury or poor water quality or both  you can keep treating with aquarium salt make sure there's no ammonia or nitrites present as this will slow down the healing process if you notice no improvement in 5-7 days of treating with salt then I would treat with the kanaplex in food you can also do Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 1 gallon for no more than 15 minutes 2-3 times a day Epsom can help reduce the swelling

    How often should I put salt in the tank?

    When it's bilateral it's usually caused by a bacterial infection I would treat with kanaplex in food and aquarium 1table spoon for 3gallons I seem to remember reading that some types of ghost shrimp are found in brackish water I don't think the salt will be a problem I would check your water parameters just incase something off  Bettas do a lot  better at 80F at lower temperatures they more prone to health problems if your keeping him at a low temperature or poor water quality that will effect the immune system leading to poor health and bacteria infection

    I’m really stupid and got bilateral mixed up with unilateral pop-eye.  From what it looks like one of her eyes is cloudy and swollen.

  3. I have a betta with bilateral pop-eye and was hoping to be able to add aquarium salt to her aquarium but I have ghost shrimp in the tank with her.  Will the aquarium salt hurt the ghost shrimp if I add it?  Also if it doesn’t how much aquarium salt should I add.  The salt would be temporary until my betta’s pop-eye gets better.

    I got their kit that test ammonia and all that other stuff, so I will have to look at the GH and KH testers

    Can you test GH and KH? If so, just doing small RO or distilled water changes can lower pH. 

    Real quick whats a RO, and with the distilled water changes how often should I do it and how much water should I remove

  5. I need help with changing PH.  So I have a betta and the PH is really high, And I was wondering how I could change it with my betta still inside.  I have Seachem neutral regulator, so I was hoping to use that.  My tank size is 10 gallons btw, Thanks!
