I've seen both Petsmart and Petco use leftover betta containers with the perforated lids filled with about 1/2 inch of aquarium salt and the rest with water sitting in the bottom of each tank. The staff don't know why it's there, they're just told to do it.
Is this possibly because the fish are new, stressed, and possibly prone to disease?
It's probably something I shouldn't do as a routine precaution, since none of my fish require salt added to the water.
Anybody smarter than the Petco/Petsmart people? - Like, all of you? (no insult intended to store employees!) [/b]
