A small amount of NON-IODINE salt DOES prevent diseases. It makes the water brackish. You can use regular table salt that has NO IODINE or any other artificial ingredients.
One half ounce of salt per gallon of water (1/2 tsp. per gallon of water) will prevent nitrate poisoning and prevent parasitic infestations. If you remove water from the tank, then add salt as necessary.if you are just adding water, do not add more salt---it does not evaporate with the water.
DO NOT add salt if you have LIVE plants in the aquarium OR scaleless fish (cordydoras and tetras particularly). Make sure you add the salt to some water, and then add it to the tank---don't just drop salt in the tank as it could land all over your fish and harm them.
Salt will kill youre gold fish.
Hello no. Goldfish (ie carp) are FRESHWATER fish, it'll kill them pretty fast.
I've heard of it being used as a medicine for sick goldfish, but they're freshwater fish. I don't think it's a good idea.
I have goldfish in an outdoor pond and whenever I do a three-quarter water change and top it up with fresh water I throw a cup of household salt into the basin/fountain cavity and run the filter. Just dissolve it in hot water first. As for a tank indoors I don't see how maybe a quarter of a teaspoon would hurt. Ps We weren'tt the original houseowners ..The couple before told us to do it . Unfortunately I lose more fish to herons than disease!
No! It will slowly poison the fish as the water becomes more highly concentrated with salt.
no,it is not good for a golfish.
yeah i agree with the first answer the salt may kill your fish
some, it might help perk them up, but it's not exactly a preventative. use aquasafe, quarantine tanks, clean your tank regularly, and keep them healthy.
In spite of popular belief - all that Salt will do for your fish is lessen the stress they may be under in times of disease or water parameter spikes (Nitrites specifically).
