Frankiethepuffer Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 would i be ok with adding aquarium salt to my 10g which has a dwarf red lotus, anacharis, guppy grass and a pea puffer in it? Its for my new bumblebee goby that i put in there a few days ago. he's not eating and im wondering if adding salt will help out. tank in question: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccurtis Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Plants typically do not like salt. You will run the risk of your plants suffering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 As pointed out above, plants typically don't like salt, and I have found out over the years that guppy grass seems to be pretty sensitive to salt. I would pull the goby out and put into a separate tank and treat him, make sure he's eating good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanR Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So, most recently I put 5 tbsp of salt in my QT. I have a lot of floating water sprite. I only needed to leave it in for about 4 days. The water sprite definitely suffered, but it didn't die off. In the past, I've put 3 tbsp in that same aquarium and didn't notice much of a difference. I cannot speak about other plants. That's my VERY limited experience with plants and salt. My reasoning for keeping the water sprite in my QT is that I have a lot of water sprite and if a medication kills it, no big deal, I just put more in there and it grows fast. I think the water sprite is therapeutic for the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
