Tony s Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 You can do salt at 1 tablespoon to 5 gallons. You could go higher but you have plants. It won’t hurt your fish. But can snails and plants. Not sure about shrimp if you have any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony s Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 You can use salt directly into the aquarium at low levels. At the 1tablespoon per 5 gallons. Snails and plants don’t like it. But fish do fine. Only aquarium salt or marine salt. If you’re talking about epsom salt that’s a different thing altogether it can be done in the tank I believe but you’ll need to ask @Colu Instead of salt you could use a number of catapa leave. They have antibacterial and antifungal properties. But that would turn your water a tea color. Called tannins. Can be very beneficial. But depends on your tolerance for the color. Some people can’t stand it. I think it can be beautiful. My wife does not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
