Hello again The...

Keep the salt dose to around a teaspoon in every 5 gallons of treated tap water and your fish and plants will be fine. Salt is a general health additive that's been used in freshwater tanks for decades. It's actually a buffer for those water keepers who get a little lazy performing water changes. Salt will detoxify nitrites and has a calming affect on fish, easing the breathing process by stimulating the sensitive gill tissue.

Change large amounts of tank water and do it frequently. Add a bit of salt to the new water and your fish and plants will take care of themselves.
