Whitecloud09 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Looks interesting…..right now I would start with a tablespoon of aquarium saltper five gallons. Also if you have any almond leafs and Keep a real close eye on it. And also make sure your water is clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would salt be helpful if it was injury? On 3/24/2024 at 1:28 PM, Whitecloud09 said: Looks interesting…..right now I would start with a tablespoon of aquarium saltper five gallons.

Colu Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If you have live plants I wouldn't use more than 1 table spoon for 5 gallons just remember to only put back in what you take out so if you do a 5 gallon water change put 1 table spoon of salt back in as salt only removed though water changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincentp46 Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 I’ll give that a try and see if he starts healing in a week or 2. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
