Hi all, I just got 2 dwarf gouramis from the pet store and they told me gouramis need aquarium salt. My tank is well-cycled with tons of shrimp and a few loaches in it already and I read about the whole 1 tablespoon per 5 gallon thing.
But the aquarium store guy told me to use the salt differently. He said I should put about an inch of salt on the bottom of a mug and place the mug in my tank so the gouramis could bathe in it. It was news to me, though I'm no fish expert. Is this a common practice? Is it a gourami thing? I tried looking up more information on it online, but I can't find anything.
