BettyFili Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I have a 55 gallon tank , i added some salt to treat some fish that seemed to have white spots . They are fine now but need a cleaner fish that can handle low levels of salt . Any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 most fish can handle low doses of salt in an aquarium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua junky Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 If i'm not mistaken I think amano shrimp are ok in brackish water as well. Especially in super low levels. I have mine in a Flex 32 with a bunch of Guppies and I feed the fry brine shrimp daily. I hatch the brine in salt water and when I harvest them I keep part of the water so every day they get a little bit of salt. Minuet amounts but their is still some present and the amano are excellent cleaners 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zenzo Posted August 19, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 19, 2021 Amano shrimp and nerite snails would be fine (but these are not fish). I am wondering why you would not go back to freshwater levels now that you have treated the fish and the problem is gone? A couple of normal water changes in a few days would do the trick.

lefty o Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 small amounts of salt dont hurt anything. as you do water changes, it will keep diluting the salt that is in solution in the tank. water changes are the only way to remove salt. do some water changes, and dont worry about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
