OfficialThomas Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi! I am somewhat new to fishkeeping but I just ordered some medication to have on hand just in case of a disease. I have a 20 gallon tank with 6 corydoras and a betta. My fish are not sick but if they ever did get sick would the corydoras be able to handle aquarium salt? If so how much should I add? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 cory's can handle some salt. as they have a skin vs scales, its best not to salt super heavy, but when it comes to treating illness, killing off the illness takes priority over minor skin irritation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Typically when using salt as medicine in a tank you will hear people say you can use 1 tablespoon per 3-5 gallons, I would go on the more dilute end of that with 1:5-10 g for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
