Well one of my guppies has a minor case of fin rot. Ive read that you can use some sea salt to disinfect an aquarium does it have to be certified aquarium salt or can it be the same sea salt that you use to cook. Also if i can add the salt how much should i use (i have a 5 gal aquarium), any other tips would be useful.

Thanks
 
Skip the salt and do 75% water changes for a week or two. As long as you use a good dechlor (Prime, etc) and match the temp, he should be fine and his fins should start to clear up in that time.
