Stellasmom Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Last week I rescued a small fancy fantail from a pet shop with black marks that I believe are from ammonia burns. I am pretty sure that they are healing burns because their black color is beginning to fade after a few days in my clean cycled 10 gallon quarantine tank with fresh water, conditioned with Seachem Prime. Upon close examination it looks like there are a couple tiny spots forming that look like fungus. My question is, can I use aquarium salt as treatment when the fish is healing from ammonia burns? My water parameters are: ammonia:0 nitrite:0 Nitrate:10 ph: 7.8 Thanks, I would appreciate any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Yes you can still use aquarium salt I would use 1table spoon for 2 gallons Edited April 24, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GardenStateGoldfish Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 yes it is, I would make sure the ammonia is under control though, the salt won't fix that. Melafix also helps heal the burns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
