Will this help my beta fish with popeye?
- Aquarium Salt, or better Epson Salt, should do it, unless it’s to far going on. Remove 10% of the water from your tank and place it into a container. Add your betta to the container and dose it with Epsom salt. There will be a recommended amount on the bottle as well as instructions on how to use it (but if not you should use 1 tablespoon per gallon). Just remember, that you should dissolve Epsom salt before adding it to the container. You should leave your betta in the container for 10 minutes before adding it back to your main tank (remember before adding it back to the main tank it will need to be acclimatized for a couple of minutes). Make sure you float the container in your aquarium to keep the water warm enough.

Experiencing a nitrite spike in my 120 gal tank. I have used Prime to nullify the nitrities and have done 30 gallon water changes 2 days in a row, but nitrities still coming in st 4-5ppm. Will aquarium salt lower my nitrite levels?
can I use this for my hermit crabs salt water?
- no! mix 1 1/2 tsp of sea salt with one cup (8oz) of distilled or treated water. do not use table salt!

My 8 year old axolotl is still unwell after a visit to the exotic pet vet and a course of Metronidazole ? ascites secondary to liver failure. Is there anything else I can do for him? Are salt baths still useful to ease his fluid build-up? What concentration would you recommend and for how long? If his condition remains unchanged, when should I consider vet-assisted euthanasia? I just really don't want him to starve to death. (50 L tank; ammonia/nitirite 0; vet stated husbandry not an issue).
Are these steps good for this fish's wound and finrot? Part of the fish fin fell off but it is okay now. We're planning to quarantine him and use aquarium salt.

I just purchased imagitarium aquarium salt for my betta. I have never used aquarium salt before and It says on the label that I can combine it with sprinkling in a little bit of food once a day. Does this mean it is safe to add the salt in with my fish in the tank? What process should I take so he doesn't become overwhelmed? Also does this help prevent/get rid of fin rot? Thank you!
What if you only have freshwater or saltwater what’s more needed
