But in long term dosages, bacteria and other micro-organisms will quickly adapt to moderate or high salinities in the same way the will eventually adapt to even the most powerful antibiotic.
Interesting, never thought about that, but it does make sense. So is that something that might point away from consistently dosing salt? Would you think that all bacteria/parasites in your tank that survived the initial addition of salt would become immune?
I suppose having some salt in your tank would help protect against diseases introduces with new fish.
